"Encryption must be optional to allow HTTP 2.0 to meet certain scenarios and regulations."
Wait - regulations? They're not saying what I think they're saying, are they? Do they mean they should build it in such a way that is wiretappable by the NSA? I know they've made similar statements about Skype's new architecture.
Also, I disagree that encryption shouldn't be mandatory. At this point it should be. I understand it will cause some bumps in the road, but the sooner we can get from a small percentage of the web traffic being encrypted, to close to 100 percent, the better. If that means enforcing something like this Steve Jobs-style, so be it.
