<pre wrap="">I also disagree with that blanket statement, especially the word "downgrade". There are many legitimate uses for DV certs and that shouldn't be diminished or "downgraded". I agree with Gerv that DV should not "go away"</pre>

I love this subject! :-)<br>

I think downgrade is the wrong word, it should be better described
as "definition and description" - give indicators to users about
what the certificate is for, which type of verification was
performed. The BR and EV makes it easy for us today since it's
clearly defined.<br>

For the majority of consumers though, do you think it's sufficient to know that they are connected to "match.com"? I would think it would be better for them to know that they are connected to "Match.com, Inc". More specifically, is DV a sufficient use case for the majority of Internet e-commerce? </pre>

DV is an excellent way to secure sites for the right purpose. DV is
excellent for personal sites, most (private) administrative control
panels, forums, blogs, open source projects and most informational
web sites.<br>
<br>
DV is not suitable for any e-commerce site or high-profile brands,
the latter should also be limited to the brand/name owner (including
similar sounding names).<br>
<br>
This is the policy we implemented and we are doing that with and
without better indicators of the browsers. And without relation to
what our dear competitors do.<br>
