[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

Brian Raymor commented on MQTT-340:
-----------------------------------

As a starting point, it would be helpful to document the rationale for both cases and potentially deprecate (after TC discussion) the ability to continue processing with an unknown protocol name. That especially seems suspect.
