Description
It would be useful to support WebTransport now that it is getting released in Chrome 97.
After looking into it, some additional work seems to be required to enable this support.
The Session Establishment section of the draft defines some required settings for the settings frame. I've been experimenting a bit but I'm still stuck with a net::ERR_METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED and an unsuccessful handshake.
I'm not sure if after achieving a successful handshake there will be additional work required to support this protocol.
I'm using aioquic as a reference, since that is the library that Chrome is using to support their example WebTransport server.
It looks like Neqo has also added WebTransport support.

Research direction
Start with the WebTransport draft's Session Establishment section and compare the required settings with the aioquic and Neqo implementations linked in the issue. Reproduce the reported Chrome handshake and investigate the net::ERR_METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED failure; done requires a successful handshake and a defined scope for any additional protocol support.
