The problem is that without knowing if the uri is a resource list or not,
the subscribe request should not considered valid (the 202 response implies
it is valid), since the Accept (must support multipart and rlmi) and
Supported (must have eventlist option) headers may be invalid. In a server
where PS and RLS fucntions are implemented the UA may be targeting only a
normal resource where those header values are not required.
