I don't have strong opinions about HTTP header vs TLS extension, but making
this an x509 extensions would severely impact adoption of this mechanism in
the short and medium terms since it would require explicit support from CAs.

Might be worth noting that by using an HTTP header a site behind a third-party
CDN could in theory implement the mechanism itself without support from the
CDN (whether this is a useful thing is unclear though).
