I love this subject! :-)

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.

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?

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.

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).

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.
