if this is being done

surely ToS  status  could be just another required-authorisation (whichever 
term becomes the new one)

eg if the account has previously agreed the tos-required-auth is still valid
if the account has not agreed since new ToS (despite oob mail etc)(that CA 
requires updated agreement to) 
then it just gets a fail result on this required-auth
(just as if balance was 0)

plus the url to remedy (just as if payment was needed)

(thus like payment most tos issues would be handled long before the renewal, 
but in the event the client has been ignoring the oob warnings from the CA the 
renewal fails with a simple comprehensible and easily fixed error)
