Avoid mixing with other demultiplexing
--------------------------------------
Some other (non-IETF) systems (e.g. {{HAPROXY}}) take a similar
approach with multiplexing data on top of HTTP by taking advantage of
bitpatterns that are presumed to not be present in normal HTTP
requests.
Use of the approach described in this draft in conjunction with these
other approaches is not advisable. Doing so safely would require
explicit and detailed review of all three (or more) protocols
involved.
Why not ALPN?
