> Proposed textual addition to WD04 following review of MQTT-270 (Server Initiated Disconnect) which has been closed.
> WD04 Section 3.14.1 describes the DISCONNECT command packet fixed header.   Line 1798 says
> "The Client or Server MUST validate that the reserved bits are set to zero and close the Network Connection if they are not zero."
> As a precaution I propose we should add
> "A Client or Server MUST NOT send a DISCONNECT in response to a malformed DISCONNECT."
> Rationale:  The DISCONNECT error table in table 3.13 includes values for  MALFORMED CONTROL PACKET and PROTOCOL ERROR.  Sending a DISCONNECT in response to a malformed DISCONNECT introduces the possibility of an endless cycle. (i.e. the two session partners disagree on the format of the disconnect and reject each others disconnects.)
