There are currently no existing implementations, and I am not especially
interested in going for WG adoption. I wrote the extension to address a
relatively common support request we get from clients (to reverse an
erroneous renewal), and submitted it to the list for feedback.

We will probably implement the extension in our server at some point
once the specification has stabilised following feedback.

The server would advertise the namespace of the extension in an <extURI>
element in the <svcExtension> section. It would not appear in an
<objURI> element.
