There's a pretty big disconnect between 0.05% and 1.4%. Believing their numbers would indicate their average page sizes end up being around 7 KiB, or their headers end up being gigantic 4 KiB+ monstrosities, both of which I have trouble believing.
But it's still small. Instead of adding a large chunk of complexity to HTTP/2, how much of that 1.4% do you suppose could be gleaned by removing unnecessary headers like Date, Server, X-Powered-By, cf-ray (on Cloudflare), etc?
I understand that for Cloudflare hosting/proxying others' sites, their options are limited and they have to forward their customers' headers along. But I still think adding all of this is a bad idea. Not that it matters of course, it's already done. The IETF basically rubber stamped SPDY.
