Subject: [httpwg/http-extensions] Length limits on types (#433)

The current draft puts specific size limits on each type (e.g., lengths of strings, number of items in an array).

The rationale for including (generous) limits is that header authors often don't specify any limits, which puts implementations in an awkward position of deciding how much is "too much", leading to interoperability problems.

Ideally each header author would define their own limits, tighter limits where necessary, making these a catch-all. 

With that said, two questions:

1)  Should we have such limits?

2) If so, are the current limits correct?
