Thanks for the responses, reply in line.

I raised the questions because someone noticed a vendor surprisingly indicating 
the server (instead of the "account") within the request-uri (similar to 
REGISTER instead of INVITE).  Thus I decided to re-read RFC 3265 and RFC 3842 
to see how to interpret the To contents.  That was when I surprisingly noticed 
the section 3.5 account text concerning "Request-URI or To header".

Sounds like the appropriate interpretation to me.  I'll assume rfc3842 wasn't 
attempting to remove rfc3265 section 3.1.2's usage of request-uri to "identify 
the resource for which event notification desired".

I guess that I'll have to decide how lenient to be when SUBSCRIBE received from 
known user attempting to create message-summary subscription for its own 
account without populating an account within request-uri (and maybe not even 
within To).

Thanks again,
Brett
