Ah! I am a NIN customer, but they never told me about it :-( .

But on looking at the FAQs that I regularly post, I see that they have
been adding Cancel-Locks and Cancel-Keys to them, and they seem to have

Is that draft-ietf-usefor-cancel-lock-01.txt still a correct description
of the algorithm as it is now implemented?
