Your answers lack justification. Is there any reason to believe SPDY will remain supported in user agents? Is there any point in supporting prioritization in HTTP/1.1 when it's by-and-large not the protocol you want to use anyway if you care about performance? > Should I write a document with a formal API proposal including rationale or > is this thread sufficient? I don't really think we've reached that stage yet. Best to first figure out what we want and why before making any proposals. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/
