I don’t see why the voucher actually has to be expired before obtaining a 
refresh. 
The creation time would of course be updated.

Michael’s point that a Registrar could use this to force the MASA to perform 
crypto operations is valid. As implied the fix is to allow the MASA to simply 
return a current voucher (database lookup but less crypto) if that is more 
expedient. I suggest we leave that up to the MASA implementors.
