I guess this begs the question on whether extended validation certs are really worth their merit. You are correct in the information you provide to cert companies is not much more then what you would provide for a standard cert. Technically they are no more secure than your standard cert so what is the point? How many users out there really know what the "green bar" bar really means or even care?
I don't know, but based on the general awareness of such things by ordinary users I would guess not that many. What type of clients you target is certainly a factor consider before purchasing one. Odd

I've heard the amount of information that needs to be supplied and the due diligence required is a difficult and long process.Some months ago I purchased one from Verisign for a multinational company. It took a while to get it, but there was no more job than for regular certs. Odd
