Yes of course, I explicitly mentioned in my original response that any 
cached data will remained cached for whatever time the CA sets in the 
OCSP response.

But any new connection checking an updated OCSP response would of course 
take affect from the time of revocation by the CA. There is a 
difference, certainly if we are talking about the max. time of 10 days 
(which is commercially interesting enough for an attacker I guess -, and 
probably the reason why some/most browsers cache the OCSP response for 
only 24 hours).
