3.3.1. Frame Header

R: A reserved 1-bit field. The semantics of this bit are not
defined.

What is the purpose for this field?

Why not just have a 32-bit stream identifier?

Purpose is for experimentation with stream reprioritization.

Also there to protect against some implementations having problems with signed vs. unsigned
