Another choice is to stop overloading a single value for two
purposes ...
1. Declaring the servers capabilities
2. Labeling the level of the response
A new optional header for example could advertise the server's
capabilities and the status would be just that ... status describing
this response.
The beauty of the extra header is that it would allow a response
to a HTTP/1.x request to note that HTTP/2.x is also supported ...
