This should be quick to resolve.  In Section 3.2:

   The Broker MUST NOT forward messages to unauthorized subscribers.
   There is no way to inform the Clients with invalid tokens that an
   authorization error has occurred other than sending a DISCONNECT
   packet.  Therefore, the Broker SHOULD send a DISCONNECT packet with
   the reason code '0x87 (Not authorized)'.

This seems like a contradiction.  How is that SHOULD not a MUST?

Thanks to Jean Mahoney for her ARTART review.  I encourage the authors to
respond at least to what she identified as minor issues.

The final SHOULD in Section 2.4.2 seems weak to me.  I recommend using a
non-BCP 14 "should" instead.

In Section 7.2, the "Required Parameters" and "Optional Parameters" should be
"N/A", not "none".  See Section 5.6 of RFC 6838.
