The priority frame can be sent on streams in any state, so does that same logic apply to the stream identified by the `Stream Dependency` in the HEADERS frame?  Or is the intention to limit the state to `OPEN`, etc... Either way it would be helpful to clarify what the intentions and expected behavior is."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/http2/http2-spec/issues/comments/89364143","html_url":"https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/issues/739#issuecomment-89364143","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/http2/http2-spec/issues/739","id":89364143,"user":{"login":"martinthomson","id":67641,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/67641?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinthomson","html_url":"https://github.com/martinthomson","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinthomson/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinthomson/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinthomson/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinthomson/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinthomson/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinthomson/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinthomson/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinthomson/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinthomson/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-03T17:16:11Z","updated_at":"2015-04-03T17:16:11Z","body":"I'm not parsing the question very well.
