Seems a little harsh to disconnect the session as soon as a single message is 
received with an invalid tag.

Application level messages such as OrderStatusRequest or NewOrderSingle will 
not do you any harm. The rejection allows the submitter to take action and "try 
again", obviously after he has changed something. 

A rogue application firing invalid messages at you is a different story.

Have a look at the FIX Session protocol where severe scenarios are described 
when you should terminate the session. An invalid tag is a simple error.
