I think it is a given that a server application can terminate
the connection to any client if the behaviour of that client
means that the server no longer wishes to maintain the connection.

I am not aware of any RFC that would impair the ability of
the server application to interact with the local TCP stack
to achieve these results.

Is there a specific RFC requirement that you believe impairs
creation of local interfaces to achieve the results you desire?
In general, if the application layer has the right to do something
it has the right to delegate that authority to a lower layer on
the local stack and doing so will contradict the wire protocol.
