I think this requirement was dropped because it makes it unnecessarily
difficult to report key compromises.  There used to be a time when CAs
demanded zero-knowledge proofs of key compromise (which can be
surprisingly hard to do with existing tools).  Fortunately, these
times are over, and CAs no longer categorically reject the submission
of compromised subscriber keys (although my sample is really small due
to my limited factorization capabilities).
