It would obviously make more sense though - what's the point of having a
value that gives the same result as if the attribute hadn't been sent at
all? I thought maybe this was in the RFC, and thus carved in stone:-) -
but I can't see any mention of the value 0 either in the general
attribute section or in the specific description of (in this case)
Idle-Timeout. Perhaps someone could explain the reasoning behind this
design decision?
