> There is in any case a big difference between what the EV guidelines require and what CAs actually do.

Probably not always, but many times.

> The EV criteria are the minimum. But CAs have always gone beyond the minimum. There are many controls that are much easier to employ in practice than define as a requirement.

True - the policies define what we must do - there are implemented 
practices which are done as a best effort for example, but which can't 
be 100%. No CA wants to fail an audit because of a disclosed practice it 
can't enforce 100%. It doesn't mean that it doesn't exist though.
