Subject: [httpwg/http-extensions] Parsing Text into Structured Headers (#534)

The text makes it appear as if this algorithm takes a header value, but then it branches on arguments not explicitly given. It would be better if the algorithm stated upfront that you need to have (side channel) knowledge about the header to get a structured representation about it.

(This is also what I dislike about this proposal. That it requires knowledge about the header names to do something useful. That doesn't work well for generic processors or APIs.)
