The spec was written by a guy at IBM (Barry Leiba).  I don't know if MS 
was using it before then.  From what I've seen, Outlook uses IDLE almost 
non-stop and doesn't end it before the server inactivity timeout closes 
the connection.  Any IDLE client should/must end the IDLE (and probably 
restart it) after no more than 29 minutes, to avoid the minimum 30 
minute server timeout.
