Inconsistency (or unclear text) wrt. closing with an authenticated client. about saltyrtc-meta HOT 2 OPEN

We could read "normal close code" as "close as normally done by the close message", in which case it's not a inconsistency but just a bit unclear text.

I agree that this is quite confusing. But it's especially confusing because we can fully control the close codes in the 'close' message but cannot fully control them when closing the WebSocket connection because the Web API of WebSockets does not allow to use any 1xxx code other than 1000.

What the protocol should say is that either 1000 or 1001 is fine to use in any of the above scenarios.

Where I'm not sure if it means you should set no close code (which is possible) or if it means you can set any arbitrary close code.

Arbitrary is what is meant here although 1000/1001 make the most sense in almost all scenarios.
