As Bruce said on our call last week, adding flags to our vetting system as to 
what type of vetting method was used in in on our roadmap - but right now, we 
can't know without opening each and every vetting file for each and every 
domain that was vetted over the past 39 months.  This was never an important 
piece of data in the past.

Jeremy: can we add a sentence to section 3.2.2.4 in ballot 190: "CA's SHOULD 
record the validation method used along with the validation data."
? Kirk has a reasonable point that people may not have done this in the past, 
but we should make sure they do it in the future (or don't do it at their own 
risk) so we are able to make updates to individual methods without causing a 
revalidatiopocalypse.
