[Sip] Notifier Privacy Mechanism puzzle



Hi all,
I have a question about section 5.2 Notifier Privacy Mechanism in RFC3265
<quote>
The mere act of returning a 200 or certain 4xx and 6xx responses to
SUBSCRIBE requests may, under certain circumstances, create privacy
concerns by revealing sensitive policy information.
</quote>
I do not unstand why it says a 4xx or 6xx response can reveal sensitive policy information, for example, the notifier send a 403 Forbidden or 401 Unauthorization , can this cause policy problem? I think no. If it can , anybody give me some explanations?
Thanks. _______________________________________________
