Yes, I'm proposing "Linear-H"


> I think there is still shared state in the 'header table'. Thus although you can interleave HEADERS frames from different streams, you must decompress them in the same order as received.  Furthermore, compression & decompression must be frame-atomic, otherwise multi-threaded implementations will corrupt the shared state in the header table.  Or, am I missing something here?

YES, you can interleave HEADERS frames from different streams but each
frame must be processed in-order.
