Default Re: extended validation certificates

Well, it sounds like there *is* another, more legally correct way:
set up your own CA (easy!) and do what it takes to get it certified by
the CA/Browser Forum (should be difficult). Then you'd legally have the
privilege of coining the cert.s that you want.

I seriously doubt that issuance of self-signed cert.s would pass the
audit, but your CA doesn't have to work that way.

The question then is whether the ability to issue EV cert.s yourself
is worth the effort and expense of doing it properly.
