There really isn't a current status.  Msft SSE extensions come the
closest but there are some definite issues that I personally think would
need to be resolved.

What I personally would like to see is an evolved form of SSE produced
on the standards track by a WG.  Tombstones would be covered as part of
that activity.

We have use cases for offline synchronization, bidirectional sync,
seeding search engines, spam control, more efficient subscription models
(e.g. just give me the changes since the last time I checked), and so
on.  After exploring the issue, I strongly believe a single, common
approach would be ideal.
