Hi Ryan,

This doesn't sound any different to the case when a server receives a
request when the push ID limit is reached; a client may have attempted to
update the limit but the delivery or processing of the frame happened after
the request was received.

Because this can happen at any time during a connection, I would be opposed
to adding special case code for the initial max value; it seems it would be
simpler for implementations to have one path for dealing with this
eventuality.

Cheers
Lucas
