Contact headers form an important part of the route. This
behavior mirrors that of the bis draft.

3xx responses are applicable to all methods, and there's nothing
that an extension can do about it. Redirect servers will always
redirect unknown methods.

I could also argue that 3xx responses can be quite useful
for SUBSCRIBE, with some fairly compelling examples, but
the above fact makes it a rather moot point.
