As described in section 2.3 of the domain mapping draft, a domain can't be
in both pending* status and "ok" status.  If a <renew> command is received
before the domain is deleted, you should replace the "pendingDelete" status
with "ok" status, or just remove "pendingDelete" status if there is another
status values that would preclude setting "ok" status.
