 From Rob:
Kathleen, are you saying that "must expire by the end of 2013" is a
"revocation requirement" ?

Expiration != Revocation.

Is there actually a requirement that says "By the end of 2013, CAs
MUST revoke all unexpired certificates with <2048-bit RSA keys" ?
If so, where is it written and when was it communicated to the CAs?

(If it's not actually written anywhere, then can you actually enforce
it?)

In BR Appendix A

Subscriber Certificates
Minimum RSA modulus
"Validity period ending on or before 31 Dec 2013"
1024
"Validity period ending after 31 Dec 2013"
2048

Sure, and BRs Section 13.1.5 says:
  "The CA SHALL revoke a (Subscriber) Certificate within 24 hours if
   ...
   9. The CA is made aware that the Certificate was not issued in
     accordance with these Requirements..."

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I'm thinking primarily about long-lived certificates that were issued before the BRs became effective. BRs Section 1 says:
  "Except where explicitly stated otherwise, these requirements apply
   only to relevant events that occur on or after the Effective Date."

Where is it written that <2048-bit certs that predate the BRs need to be revoked by end of 2013?
