I also think of a use-case where the client could tell the server: if
the connection to gets lost, don't close my session immediatelly but
wait x seconds for me to get back and queue incoming data for me in the
meantime. This might be a good thing for mobile clients, that can get
out of coverage for some seconds/minutes and that will resume the
session if they get coverage again.
