AFAIK, the caller of function isNonceValid() choses how long the nonce should 
be considered valid (in the case of sipXproxy, 5mins = PAI signature validity). 
But, now come to think of it, the PAI authentication will not kick in for for 
in-dialog SUBSCRIBEs.. Which means, in-dialog SUBSCRIBEs reaching the status 
server will not have a PAI header, and this method won't apply..
