Why? To me it simply suggests that all existing mailboxes that are 
subscribed could report that fact via LIST.

Since I'm doing a lot of work in correcting the way my client handles folder 
listing at the moment, issues like this are kind of uppermost in my mind... 
I've found that I'm using two or three approaches to handling folder lists, 
some involing LIST and some involving LSUB; for the former, I can see 
that it would actually be quite useful to know that a folder was subscribed 
when I LISTed it - as it stands now, I often need to issue both commands

I rather like this idea, in fact.

Cheers!
