Chris, Jeff, For the record, I have created a new case 110121055487273 and filed a technical document issue on MS-SMB. The product team is looking into the best way to reflect the Client.SessionTimeoutValue behavior in MS-SMB, if needed.

Changes to the protocol can and should be documented in [MS-SMB]. Unfortunately, it is not nearly as easy to document changes to non-protocol Windows Behavior. All WBNs really need a to be referenced from within the specification. You can't, for instance, talk about the change from 45 to 60 seconds between W-NT4 and W2K in [MS-CIFS] because [MS-CIFS] specifically covers NT3.51 and NT4 clients/servers, and W98 clients. You also can't talk about it in [MS-SMB] because there is no actual protocol change. The best I could suggest is to add a line somewhere in section 3 of [MS-SMB] that says: Client.SessionTimeoutValue is as defined in [MS-CIFS], section ??? <WBN>. <WBN>: In Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2008, and Windows 2008 R2 (have I missed any?), the default Client.SessionTimeoutValue is 60 seconds. ...and then reference both the KB article and the section of [MS-CIFS] that provides the WBN that states that the timeout is 45 seconds.
