Section 7.5 says:

      The duration of the lock is defined as beginning when the lock is
      acquired and lasting until either the lock is released or the
      NETCONF session closes.  The session closure can be explicitly
      performed by the client, or implicitly performed by the server
      based on criteria such as failure of the underlying transport,
      simple inactivity timeout, or detection of abusive behavior on the
      part of the client.  These criteria are dependent on the
      implementation and the underlying transport.

It should say:

      The duration of the lock is defined as beginning when the lock is
      acquired and lasting until either the lock is released or the
      NETCONF session closes.  The session closure can be explicitly
      performed by the client, or implicitly performed by the server
      based on criteria such as failure of the underlying transport,
      simple inactivity timeout, or detection of abusive behavior on the
      part of the client.  These criteria are dependent on the
      implementation and the underlying transport. Note that a lock
      associated with a persistent confirmed commit will be released if
      the NETCONF session closes and, if required, a new lock will have
      to be acquired.

Notes:

A persistent confirmed commit can survive a session termination, however any lock on that same session cannot. If a new session is established between the client and server, the client will need to acquire new locks if it wishes to protect the ongoing persistent confirmed commit.
