It depends upon the semantics defined by the authors of the Red and Blue 
extensions. By your definition below ("The event source has only 
validated (via interop testing) two possible combinations: A,B,C and 
A,B,D") the above would be an invalid request.

Again it depends upon how the extension authors defined these 
extensions. If the extension is indicated solely by the presence of 
som:Blue or som:Red in the Subscribe request, then the above request *is 
*different in that it has not been extended. I would note that the 
creator of this request is being foolish in that they are indicating 
that the receiver must understand two extensions, neither of which are 
are actually needed to process the request.
