How would people feel about adding some language to the account key
roll-over section that says that any cached (already valid)
authorizations for identifiers should be deactivated on roll-over? This
would reduce the risk of an attacker gaining control of an account and
all associated authorizations in such a way that the original user could
not revoke the authorizations themselves.

The original user would still be able to revoke any certificates
containing identifiers for these authorizations themselves (by creating
new authorizations for the identifiers in the certificate) but a
attacker could simply add a single new identifier which the original
user does not have control over to prevent this with the current design.
