"DS goes down" is under the above "RPC return an error" the error condition
of an RPC is well defined.

If my English is wrongly worded. Which is perfectly possible. Please correct
me so I can learn. Did you honestly think that's what I meant? 

I meant we all agree, that this case is covered by RFC. That is  - no one would
accuse a client who does that, as violating the RFC.

And again my question. The motivation?
