  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,
