I agreed at first, but on second thought there is nowhere else which
says that abandoning outstanding operations is preferred over completing
them.
BTW, if you move or remove this language, I believe you should also
remove the language in section 4.4.1 (Notice of Disconnection) which
says 'the server MUST follow the procedures of Section 4.3.' I expect
it's the above procedure which this text refers to.
