Not quite.

A compliant CAA implementation MUST understand the semantics of these
fields and not break if they're marked critical. However, that does not
mean an implementation must do what is in that field - for example, sending
an iodef.

This is no different from X.509v3, so it should be very easy for CAs to
understand the concept.
