As my last message outlined, lack of a standard is not the problem. (In
fact, several CAs have been pointing at the section of the BRs which
deals with the O field to say 'look, now we have a standard for OV!')

Lack of a standard was the (or a) catalyst for the creation of EV. So we
do have a standard for O field validation - it's called EV. If someone
thinks it's possible to keep the strong identity validation with fewer
or easier checks, they can make a proposal to change the EV standard -
and people have, over the years, and we've accepted lots of changes.
