Code change:
Relax DNS requirements when ORIGIN is received Change the initial origin set to just SNI
wait - no. You wouldn't send the alternative in the ORIGIN frame, you would send the origin that you are the alternative for, right? that would make sense - if you want to use an alternative you can't rely on the SNI default.
this is indeed looking goodminor nitsThis is looking good.

An intermediary MUST NOT forward ORIGIN frames.  Clients configured to use a proxy MUST ignore any ORIGIN frames received from it. </del> <ins> The set of origins (as per RFC6454) that a given connection might be used for is known in this specification as the Origin Set. When an ORIGIN frame is first received by a client, the connection's Origin Set is defined to contain a single origin, composed from: Scheme: "https" Host: the value sent in Server Name Indication (RFC6066 Section 3), converted to lower case </ins> <del> The following algorithm illustrates how a client can handle received ORIGIN frames: </del> <ins> Port: the local port of the connection on the server </ins> <del> If the client is configured to use a proxy, ignore the frame and stop processing. </del> <ins> The contents of that ORIGIN frame (and subsequent ones) allows the server to incrementally add new origins to the Origin Set, as described in process. </ins> <del> If the frame occurs upon any stream except stream 0, ignore the frame and stop processing. </del> <ins> The Origin Set is also affected by the 421 (Misdirected Request) response status code, defined in RFC7540 Section 9.1.2.  Upon receipt of a response with this status code, implementing clients MUST create the ASCII serialisation of the corresponding request's origin (as per RFC6454, Section 6.2) and remove it from the connection's Origin Set, if present. </ins> <del> If the CLEAR flag is set, remove all members from the Origin Set. </del> <ins> 2.4. </ins> <del> For each Origin field "origin_raw" in the frame payload: </del> <ins> RFC7540, Section 10.1 uses both DNS and the presented TLS certificate to establish the origin server(s) that a connection is authoritative for, just as HTTP/1.1 does in RFC7230.  Furthermore, RFC7540 Section 9.1.1 explicitly allows a connection to be used for more than one origin server, if it is authoritative. </ins> <del> Parse "origin_raw" as an ASCII serialization of an origin (RFC6454, Section 6.2) and let the result be "parsed_origin". </del> <ins> Upon receiving an ORIGIN frame on a connection, clients that implement this specification change these behaviors in the following ways: </ins> <del> If the REMOVE flag is set, remove any member of the Origin Set that is the same as "parsed_origin" (as per RFC6454, Section 5), and continue to the next "parsed_origin". </del> <ins> They MUST NOT consult DNS to establish authority for origins in the Origin Set. The TLS certificate MUST be used to do so, as described in RFC7540 Section 9.1.1. </ins> <del> Otherwise, add "parsed_origin" to the Origin Set. </del> <ins> Requests SHOULD use an existing connection if their origin is in that connection's Origin Set, unless there are operational reasons for creating a new connection. </ins> 3. <ins> TBD. 4. </ins> Clients that blindly trust the ORIGIN frame's contents will be <del> vulnerable to a large number of attacks; hence the reinforcement that this specification does not relax the requirement for server authority in RFC7540, Section 10.1. </del> <ins> vulnerable to a large number of attacks.  See authority for mitigations. Relaxing the requirement to consult DNS when determining authority for an origin means that an attacker who possesses a valid certificate no longer needs to be on-path to redirect traffic to them; instead of modifying DNS, they need only convince the user to visit another Web site, in order to coalesce connections to the target onto their existing connection. </ins> <del> 4.
