> We need to have consistency in the usage of malformed control packets and protocol errors .
> In  PUBLISH 3.3.5 we say 
> 1)	A Topic Alias value of zero or greater than the Maximum Alias is a protocol error, the receiver MUST send a DISCONNECT Packet with a 0x82 (Protocol error) Return code and then close the Network Connection. 
> The client has been authenticated so there is no reason to hide the detection of a malformed packet or protocol error hence we should mandate the sending of the disconnect packet. 
> In section 4.13 Handling errors.
> Remove the "MUST close the Network Connection" in the case of protocol errors, otherwise the receiver is required to detect every possible protocol error.
