That is a very valid point. 

Well since I do not have a concrete proposal it is hard to say at this point if 
a CA should be kicked out for non-conformance to a given critera. With that 
said today there are over 20 SHOULDs in the BRs and I can imagine failure to 
meet those should would be considered in aggregate when looking at a distrust 
event.

If nothing else addressing any potential ambiguity would be useful.
