Have you considered using NoCeM's to do this? This would be much more
opt-in, as somebody would have to specifically configure NoCeM to accept
your key. It is also much more efficient than cancels, at least
propogation-wise.
Just a thought from a news administrator who doesn't want to be processing
300,000+ cancels a day all of a sudden,
