The professional ethics and standards are extremely relevant to this
thread, because it's essential to understand what assurance a revised
report provides.

That is, it's incorrect to assume a revised report provides the same level
of assurance as an original report, without understanding the professional
standards and ethics involved. The absence of such standards and guidance,
from ETSI, is further extremely relevant to understanding what levels of
assurance the initial report provides, why an initial report may make
mistakes, and what the implications are about an updated report.

More importantly, much like delaying revocation, it *shouldn't* be an
option. The notion of revising a report is apparently without consequence
to ETSI, but is of significant impact to WebTrust, and that's an extremely
relevant factor to this discussion.
