Well, I think if the server does not have to approve the value, client could 
expect to set it to something extreme (like 1s) or useless (like 1 days). The 
server could thus reply with a different value. And still the server needs to 
know at which rate the client is expected to send the keep alive.
But, yes, it is always possible to do something like that in a non standard 
way. My point was trying to agree on something to make life of client 
developers easier :)

What would be the trigger for determining that the connection is lost and send 
the ping? Is it whitespace keep-alive or anything else?

Thanks!
