On second thought, I think that the second bullet under "superseded" can be
deleted and that the third bullet can be left "as is".    So it would read,

*The CRLReason superseded is intended to be used to indicate when:*

   - *the certificate subscriber has requested a new certificate to replace
   an existing certificate; or*
   - *the CA has revoked the certificate for compliance reasons such as the
   certificate does not comply with this policy, the CA/Browser Forum's
   Baseline Requirements, or the CA’s CP or CPS.*
