I get that; what I’m looking to confirm--and I’m reasonably sure is the 
case--is that, given a failed order, it’s up to server policy to spell out 
whether a client may reasonably suppose that a 2nd order against a subset of 
the identifiers from the 1st order would pass all of the 2nd set of authzs.

For LE, for example, a client can simply look at the ids of the failed authzs 
and omit those ids from the 2nd order.

Going back to the hypothetical Fred/Jane/Pat CA, though, for a client to know 
how to submit that 2nd order there would need to be some policy external to 
ACME that would indicate the feasibility of such a thing.

Does that sound right?
