The sender of messages should be able to indicate that despite the fact
that, while the receiver of messages has issued credit, the sender will not
send more until the receiver has acknowledged some of the existing
outstanding messages.  Thus the receiver can make the choice as to whether
it wants to receive more messages - in which case it needs to acknowledge
some of those it is holding on to (thus allowing the sender to delete them),
or whether it wishes to continue working with the messages it has.  In
general there is no obligation for the sender to send even if credit has
been supplied - but it should indicate through its state it is choosing not
to send because there is too much unresolved state already, not because
there are no messages to send.

At first glance it looks like the documentation for this case is missing
from the spec - thanks for pointing this out, and well spotted!

Also note that at any time the sender may chose to unilaterally disconnect
the link, session or even the connection with an appropriate error code (for
instance there may be a policy to do so with "slow" consumers who are
preventing messages being garbage collected from a "Topic" node).

Hope this helps,
Rob
