Yes, it does seem to be redundant.  I suspect that it was specified to
be consistent with other termination cases (when the subscriber is not
expecting termination) and to ensure that there are no inconsistencies
when a one-time subscription ("Expires: 0") is made (as the one NOTIFY
sent is both the initiation NOTIFY and the termination NOTIFY).
