Does the request include *any* Allow header field?

RFC 3261 says:

    The absence of an Allow header field MUST NOT be
    interpreted to mean that the UA sending the message supports no
    methods.   Rather, it implies that the UA is not providing any
    information on what methods it supports.

There is a mechanism (RFC 4488) for suppressing the implicit subscription from 
REFER. If that is used than no NOTIFY would be expected.

If the REFER does have an Allow without NOTIFY, and it doesn't disable the 
subscription, then it seems to be in error.

        Thanks,
        Paul
