A priority stream, in our current scheme, has some desireable properties because it aligns with the asymmetry, i.e. only client can create a priority stream. If anyone cared you could borrow QPACK encoder/decoder model so that the client has clear indication when priorities were processed. One could go as far as adopting that model further, 

1) priority stream(s) contains unframed instructions
2) PRIORITY frame on request is just a shell that contains references to priority state.

This opens a possibility to have alternative priority schemes based on opening different types of priority streams.

It all sounds terribly complicated though :D
