Section 4.2.2 says:
Because this limit is applied separately by each implementation that processes the message, messages below this limit are not guaranteed to be accepted.
It should say:
Because this limit is applied separately by each implementation that processes the message, messages above this limit are not guaranteed to be accepted.
Notes:
The section 4.2.2 specifies header size constraints and notes that implementations can send a SETTINGS frame with a SETTINGS_MAX_FIELD_SECTION_SIZE identifier to set a limit on the maximum size of the message header. Since this a maximum size, the sentence that states that intermediaries aren't guaranteed to accept a message below this limit seems odd and I think it should instead say "above this limit".
