As a policy, Tundra servers should forcibly and immediately disconnect any client that sends bad bits in the protocol.

The robustness principle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle should not be followed in the low-level binary stream. (but is suited ok e.g. in higher-level login property map handling)

At the moment, we are not considering having support for multiple versions of the protocol at the same time.
