NEW ISSUE: Recommend RMD Close rather than Terminate

[Paul Fremantle <paul@wso2.com>]

Title: Recommend RMD Close rather than Terminate

Description:
If the RMD terminates the sequence, the RMS cannot know which messages 
are acknowledged. That is why we added CloseSequence. We should 
recommend that RMD's use CloseSequence rather than TerminateSequence.

Justification:
At the moment the spec says the RMD "may" close the sequence. However, 
unless there is a specific reason (e.g. resource issues, security issues 
etc), it is better if the RMD closes rather than terminates.

Target: core
Type: editorial

Proposal:

 From WD-10:

At line 381: Replace:
"In the case where the RM Destination wishes to discontinue use of a 
sequence it may 'close' the sequence itself."
with
"In the case where the RM Destination wishes to discontinue use of a 
sequence it is RECOMMENDED that it 'close' the sequence."

Related issues: None

Thanks to Stefan Rossmanith for pointing this out.
