Re: login response for non-login request.

["Sukanta Ganguly" <sganguly@opulentsystems.com>]

Hi Michael,
   It makes perfect sense. In case of processing the Login request the Target is in the Login processing state machine, if you will. Hence sending a Login reject is the most appropriate response. 
    The development process also stays simple in that manner.
