@MikeBishop 
> I don't think simple buffering is sufficient. You would have to not only buffer the frame that updates the priority of a not-yet-created stream, but also frames that create dependencies on that stream, and frames that create dependencies on streams that would be under that tree if you weren't already buffering the frames that create the tree. That can be done, but it's not straightforward.

I second @dtikhonov's view that the current mechanism is simple enough.

What you need to do (i.e. what I do) is create a priority node (with a given ID) when receiving a PRIORITY frame that first refers to that ID. When receiving a request stream is opened, the server looks if a priority node already exists. If it does, that is used.

The node also has a `implicitly_initialized` flag, that indicates if a PRIORITY frame received on a request stream should be respected. The flag is set when a priority is received for the first time for the given node, but not when a node is created due to being referred to by PRIORITY.element_dependency.

If we are to discuss alternative designs, I'd argue that providing the server the priority information at the moment it receives a request should be a requirement (at least for the Firefox-style dependency tree, which I think we agree as the optimal design). Otherwise, we'd be risking H3 performance becoming inferior to H2 due to increased chance of mis-prioritization.
