I am in general fine with this because this is basically compliant with
RFC-6637.  The use of the the 0x40 prefix is not defined by 6637 but
given that an implementation needs to understand our OID anyway I don't
see a problem using a not-yet-standard prefix.

The only question is whether we should use the above OID (from Peter
Gutmann's arc) or use our own one.  Peter: do you know whether your OID
is already in use?
