Even though I was involved only on the sidelines at that time, I tend to 
agree with Jeremy that EV was understood to be an EXTENDED validation. 
Something that is truly very deep with strong requirements. At least 
that what I hope it is.

One fact the browser vendors have to acknowledge is that there is a 
fairly small percentage having EV certificates, but for sites which are 
also fairly important (mostly).

General OV and IV as defined today in the BR is - despite the lack of 
any UI benefits - still very strong and popular. And perhaps you should 
think about it why it's so persistent both with the CAs and the 
subscribers ordering it.
