The same can be achieved by simply setting the [copied] flag in any 
outgoing <data-have> message from now on, couldn't it?
This way we wouldn't need yet another flag, and also we wouldn't need 
a way to overwrite a "sticky" flag that was previously set (see your 
"until further notice" remark above").
Thanks,
