This seems sensible; rolling keys shouldn't invalidate things in transit
any more than changing your Gmail password should delete your drafts folder.

I would have a little bit of a hard time calling this "purely editorial",
since it specifies server behavior.  But it seems like you're just
codifying an expectation that at least I already had (TBH, I would not have
thought to build a server otherwise), so I would be inclined to go ahead
and merge it if at least one or two other people chime in.

Here's a PR:  https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/acme/pull/323
