I've got limited experience with PKI policies, but what about key 
escrow? Or the poor man's version, creating a backup copy of a smart 
card on another smart card, kept in a firesafe?

Of course, if your card is damaged, lost or stolen, your certification 
should be revoked by the CA and reissued with a new certification. But 
you still need the old key to decrypt old data to re-encrypt with the 
new key, right?
