> There is no statement in the WD that Return Code values are "global" rather than being specific to a particular control packet?
> From Roger Light on mqtt-comment:
> In table 3.13 for disconnect codes, the code 139 is "server shutting
> down". In table 3.6 for pubrec return codes, the code 139 is "topic
> invalid". This looks to be a typo in table 3.6 because code 144
> already exists for "topic invalid".
> The description of the return codes is a bit inconsistent. Sticking
> with the invalid topic case, it is variously described as
> Topic invalid : The topic is invalid
> Topic Filter not valid : The topic filter is correctly formed, but is
> not allowed for this client
> Topic name or filter not valid : The topic name or filter is valid,
> but it is not accepted by this client or server.
> I see that these apply to different scenarios, but the different
> descriptions are confusing. Should I take "the topic is invalid" to
> mean that it is not correctly formed? What is the difference between
> "is correctly formed" and "is valid"?
> I don't think descriptions of a term should just repeat the same words
> as the term itself, it doesn't clarify anything.
> I've spotted some more overlaps in return codes.
> Return code 154 is used by both pubrec and puback as "qos level not
> supported", and disconnect as "alias not supported".
> Return code 159 is used by subscribe as "subscription identifiers not
> supported" and connack as "connection rate exceeded".
> Some return codes aren't used - 141, 147, 148.
