[cabfpub] Random value reuse

Putting the  issue of "reuse" aside, do we need to clarify this issue of which random value methods can be used in combination with others?  It seems that a random value could be provided to the domain contact / admin under methods 2, 3 (if you wanted) or 4 and then used within 30 days for methods 2, 4, 6, 7 and 10,  but not vice versa.

Right. New random values are cheap :-)
