for ACME to provide something like an "apt-get install" level of
simplicity; I read this as something like an "apt-get revoke" equivalent.
I think

"allow an authorized party to request revocation" may be a larger set than
then site admin envisioned in the first--it sort of depends on who the
"authorized party" is.

How about:

"ACME certificate management must provide automated methods for revocation
parallel to those use to request a certificate"?

These all pretty small tweaks, though.
