One second...the organization field should be always the real CA name 
(Digicert, Inc. or whatever it is). The common name can be used to 
identify for example purpose etc. as I understand. a

For an intermediate CA that is managed by Digicert but in fact 
represents a different entity I would expect to see that company name in 
the organization field and not Digicert's. For intermediate CAs not 
managed by Digicert also.
