I presume this option is available; otherwise SSL sites couldn't use 
them without getting mixed content errors.

Hmm... unless they are totally JS-driven. I don't know how they work for 
certain, so that could be the case.

Just like with any site, you need to assess the practices of the site 
before deciding to give them any information about yourself. EV doesn't 
change this; it just makes it more clear who owns the site.

Hmm. I guess we need to decide how we view the model. If we say that 
someone using an EV certificate at the top level is taking 
responsibility for whatever content they include, then actually we 
should be happy to use Microsoft's model - just use the EV-ness of the 
top-level page.
