Right, I think several of us have said it's not a subscription in the 3265 
sense of the word (and it's probably less confusing if we don't use the word 
"subscription" at all).

Precisely.  Exactly how INFO was used before.

Actually I think it's clearer for this mechanism than it is for Subscriptions.  
With Subscribe, I don't see how an Invite-generating UAC can truly authorize a 
subscriber as the UAS.  It's clear how a server offering a subscription service 
such as presence can do it, because the server should know which UA's can 
subscribe to its service, and can challenge them knowing the user password or 
whatever.  But how does my phone know any shared secret with which to challenge 
some random entity subscribing to KPML for an Invite dialog?  With this inline 
INFO mechanism, it would be based on the Invite.  If the UAC sent the Invite 
with the send/recv event headers, it's authorizing the receiver of the Invite 
to send/recv them.  If the UAS wants to accept the events, it responds with 
such headers.  The INFO message would be handled the same way as re-Invites 
would, with regard to their acceptance.
