A timeout like this makes sense with a streaming protocol, but not 
with a datagram protocol like L2CAP.  The application could be waiting 
on file I/O (especially on a flash filesystem), be waiting for another 
blocking call to return, or another resource-intensive application 
could be hogging the processor for a short time.  If an incomplete SDU 
gets sent out because of a timeout like this, the profile on the other 
side will see it as corrupt.  Better to keep the queued data 
indefinitely.
