[Connect-TCP WGLC] Nit: DATA and FINAL_DATA names #3421

@ekinnear

Description

@ekinnear

Similar to #3420, thought I'd ask about names if we're making it clear that the DATA and FINAL_DATA capsules represent TCP stream data that can be combined and split.

Would it make sense to name them:

  • TCP_DATA and TCP_FINAL_DATA
  • STREAM_DATA and FINAL_STREAM_DATA / STREAM_FINAL_DATA

The latter seems nicer if we're saying that merging and splitting is a generic property of any stream, not just TCP. The former seems nicer if we're saying that merging and splitting can be done only in the context of connect-tcp.

This would also help to distinguish them from the HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 DATA frames that they are carried within.

If we keep the existing names, can we add an editorial note for implementors that they should not confuse them with the HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 frames of the same name?
