I'm so surprised that the security consideration section has no reference to CRIME [1], which has made Google and Mozilla to turn off SPDY's header compression in Chrome and Firefox.

I think this version is basically SPDY 3. SPDY 4 (draft spec: https://github.com/grmocg/SPDY-Specification/blob/gh-pages/d...) uses a completely new header compression algorithm which is not susceptible to the attack used in CRIME.
