Pointless and irrelevant. Do you follow the accepted standard or not -
that is what it comes down to. Bugs are bugs and everyone has them, big
deal. However, there is a general consensus about how things are
supposed to work - interoperability is somewhat difficult in this day
and age without it. So which is it? Follow the standards - be they RFC,
STD, draft, de facto, or de jure - or roll your own and pray?
No one has stated that closing the session is bad thing, and the general
feeling is that its a good thing. So what is it that you want?
