The second and third would be specific to proxies that handle subscriptions (ie. online feed readers). The second would indicate the number of subscribers who had accessed the feed out of the proxy's cache since the last time the cache was refreshed. The third would be the total number of clients currently subscribed to the resource, even if they hadn't accessed it recently. Tim Bray wrote about this issue a few days ago.
