With the introduction of Sup720, you can configure subinterfaces also on 
  ports on WS-X-cards, according to this document at CCO:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080160a07.html#wp1040486

But there is an important note:
"Because VLAN IDs are global to the switch, you can use a VLAN 
internally, on a subinterface, or with a Layer 3 VLAN interface.

Note: You cannot configure a VLAN used on one interface or subinterface 
on another interface or subinterface."

So, if you would like to use two different subinterfaces, both with 
'encapsulation dot1q 100', it can't be done as would expect of a *true* 
router.

I'm still wondering how this 'internal Vlan' will treat a incoming BPDU...
