Re: [presentation-api] Updated version of PR #238

I disagree.  I think the closed event should signal exactly that: the 
messaging channel is closed, i.e. no more messages can be accepted 
through the channel.  Pending requests to `send` may continue to be 
delivered but this would be best effort and at the discretion of the 
implementation.  For example, if the channel has abruptly closed 
(because the destination context went away, or the underlying 
transport was disconnected) no further delivery would be possible, and
 I think writing a spec to enumerate all the potential cases when 
messages could or could not be delivered would be complex.
 
I suggest the way forward is to land this PR and continue work in #240
 on specifying a closing handshake, if it's an important use case to 
deliver messages to a closing/closed connection.
