Their implementations are predicated upon this sort of thing not being possible. Further, it will be a bad thing to allow the remote party to force a reset the session during an active business cycle. Other than the "...only keeps a message history of X messages" the scenarios are bugs which should be fixed rather than worked around this way. Only keeping X messages seems to be a fundamental departure from the protocol. I am not in favour of this proposal.
