Sorry, yes, that's correct. I was also inaccurate about the length of time
before deletion, which is actually 90 days, with a 15-day grace period after
that. For reference in the discussion, the notification looks like this, more
or less:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">
  <response>
    <result code="1301">
      <msg>Command completed successfully; ack to dequeue</msg>
    </result>
    <msgQ count="1" id="1">
      <qDate>2012-01-19T11:50:00.0Z</qDate>
      <msg>Contact deletion completed</msg>
    </msgQ>
    <resData>
      <contact:infData
          xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:contact-1.0">
        <!-- Original contact data -->
      </contact:infData>
    </resData>
    <extension>
      <frnic:ext xmlns:frnic="http://www.afnic.fr/xml/epp/frnic-1.0">
        <!-- Extended contact information -->
      </frnic:ext>
    </extension>
    <trID>
      <clTRID>ABC-123</clTRID>
      <svTRID>XYZ-123</clTRID>
    </trID>
  </response>
</epp>

Anyway, the overriding point is that AFNIC are an example of an existing
registry that already do object garbage collection.

My bad though. I'd their procedures mixed up in my head with another registry
that does (irregular, and unnotified) garbage collection.
