https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/issues/1114 https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/issues/1114 Looks like no Rust HTTP/3 "WebTransport" support yet? WebTransport and QUIC are different, right?

  WebTransport is an HTTP/3 only protocol, and HTTP/3 is a QUIC only protocol. Different but interlinked.

    UDP -> QUIC -> HTTP/3 -> WebTransport?
