good idea.

I've drafted a description of this message at

    http://www.ivoa.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/SampMTypes

if there is no substantial disagreement, I will incorporate it in the

my feeling is that the samp.hub.event.unregister message which the hub
ought to send at the same time is sufficient information for other
clients, so I don't think an additional samp.hub.event.disconnect MType
is called for.
