I am raising the problem that if there is a list of changes made and it
goes out of sync with reality, then what do I, at Mozilla, do if a CA
says "well, I didn't realise that change had been made because it wasn't
added to the official list"?

There should be one and exactly one method of knowing when changes are made.

Earlier, although perhaps not in this thread, someone suggested
independent version numbers for each of the methods. That has a similar
issue - there should be one and exactly one method of recording what
validation method was used.
