If, as you dictate in your reply, code up *exactly* what it says - you
must ignore the "may" (as you don't provide the conditions to
satisfy), then the server never disconnects.

That's absurd.  So, why mention the step at all?

If you are attempting to specify algorithms as the normative
definitions to force me to stop "reading between the lines" - but,
yet, at the same time, don't specify it to the correct level of
precision, then don't specify it at all or stop claiming that it is
normative!  This is *exactly* the ambiguity inherent in this style
that is so maddening as a prospective implementor.  -- justin
