I think the disconnect here is between CAs and Relying Applications (i.e. browsers) using CAA. The CA should use CAA to validate if they have authority to issue, but the relying application must not because the CAA records are only applicable at the time of issuance and there is no guarantee that the current CAA records may match the records that were present in the past (i.e. I may set my CAA record to allow "example-ca", issue a certificate, and then set my CAA record to an empty string to prevent issuance from anyone, the check is valid at the time of issuance, but anyone trying to do post-issuance validation would fail since the record has changed). I would support removing the paragraph.
