Dave,

I'm not sure any of us disagreed with the content. The question is
whether it's important, useful, or necessary (in that order) to address
this, or whether we feel that the existing specs are sufficient.

My conclusion was that applications can always terminate TCP
connections, and so can OS's - e.g., an OS can always just reboot.

This still sounds like an implementation guideline to me. It may be
useful, and may be useful to document, but since it's implementation
focused, I'm not sure I see it as a protocol document.

As a result, I don't think this needs to be a WG document (which is
where I thought things were from Dublin). We talked there about it
potentially being an errata to 1122, and even the problems with that
approach.

Finally, it is not clear this is even in scope - it's not a modification
to TCP, nor is it maintenance.
