Hadmut,

Sorry, no.

All you know is that the domain owner has not published the record.  You
do not know whether that was from a decision or from sloth.

Really, folks, please understand that adoption of new specifications
takes years.  Until you have adoption, you do NOT have "refusal".  You
have non-adoption.  When something is not used, you cannot know whether
that is due to refusal or whether it is due to not having (yet) adopted
the specification.

please provide a concrete example of the differences in handling with,
versus without, the rmx.

so far, those in favor of the rmx record are consistent in believing
that it provides more information than it does.
