SPDY, however, should be experimental or some such. There's no reason to keep it in the registry forever, or place it in the registry in the first place.

I have no trouble keeping "HTTP/1.1".  I do have a concern that the
string "http/1.1" will cause confusion though.  Is it really so
difficult to register an uppercase string?

Rather than inventing a new semantic-free, structured identifier
space, which the RFC in question specifically recommends against, why
don't we just do what RFC 6648 recommends and create a registry.
Registration is cheap.  And if you feel the urge to experiment without
registering your codepoint, that's cool too.
