That sounds like RFC 3229+feed, except it applies to tombstones
only and with probably no consideration given yet to how
intermediaries affect the picture. (But I might not giving enough
credit on the second point.)

The difference is that RFC 3229+feed actually offers dramatic
bandwidth savings, whereas a tombstone-specific mechanism would
deliver only negligible ones.
