What @kazuho said. This is something that an application ought to be aware of when treating QUIC's stream buffers as storage. 

The problem is caused by something broader than the structure in the application data bytes -- an application could choose to not read data from the buffer until, for instance, the next consumer is ready for it.

In all these cases, I think it is not a good idea for an app to assume that the stream's buffers are a good place to store data, since that can interfere with network throughput and with resource allocation for other streams.
