I don't know in which sense you mean "standard", but in any event,
it's an implementation specific decision (not required by a protocol
specification).  I believe it's at least doesn't break any protocol
standard, or cause a problem in operation (except incompatibility with
an application or operation that has a different assumption as you
saw).
