Hi,

A lot of MQTT client libraries offer the feature of generating random

client ids rather than having to supply one. This is good.

I recently had over 10,000 client connections made to

test.mosquitto.org using a random client id, but also having set clean

session to false, which meant that when they disconnected their

information was stored on the server but there was basically no chance

they could reconnect.

It would be nice to have a comment in the spec suggesting that

implementations may offer to generate random client ids but that they

must refuse to do so if clean session is set to false.

Cheers,

Roger
