If the removed resources re improperly removed, accepting the remaining 
resources does not help them.

I don't think this is an error case that we are trying to work out, here.  If 
we are trying to address that, we have a whole lot more solution space to 
explore.

Ironically, and no one has mentioned this much, but the CP says if a 
certificate's resources are reduced, the certificate with the original set is 
revoked.  

(Then a new certificate with the reduced set is issued with the same key.  I 
think that's weird.  There are people who think it is weird that I think it is 
weird.  :-)  )

I wonder sometimes if evaluating a ROA EE cert would find the new reduced 
certificate in the cache first or the issuing original certificate on the CRL 
first.
