Hi Charles,

> Cancel-Lock is not formally defined anywhere

Yet, this draft can be a good starting point:
    http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/usefor/drafts/draft-ietf-usefor-cancel-lock-01.txt


> hence I know of no news-server that ever looks at it

news.individual.net does not honour cancels and supersedes
if there is no valid Cancel-Key: header.
    http://www.individual.net/faq.php#1.12
    http://groups.google.co.uk/group/alt.usenet.news-server-comparison/msg/7e6d4792819ad90f

news.albasani.net also added that:
    http://albasani.net/wiki/FAQ_(English)#Cancel-Lock_.26_Cancel-Key

And maybe other servers too.

They do in with a Perl hook in INN.


> although a few people add it in hope

More and more people are doing that.

And also how to deal with UTF-8 Distribution: headers?  (they are currently
limited to ALPHA/DIGIT/+/-/_)
MIME is not allowed for them.
UTF-8 newsgroup names will also impact headers (Control:, Xref:, etc.).
