TCP is already defined such that idle connections remain in the "connected" state. There should be no need to state this requirement at all.
The converse may be useful to state, such as when a system can "garbage collect" such idle connections. That's typically only useful to scavenge memory, and it's always been the OS'es prerogative to do so.
