This "documents" situation exists in a large proportion of the world. Wherever we are, we should consider the fact that elsewhere, it's just 'different.' How are you going to sell an SSL cert to someone who can't prove who they are? Or, are we saying SSL is only available for those who follow our western notions of identity proof?
I'm starting to get the feeling that some people are implying this, and things have gone back to being a flat earth that the sun resolves around... We both keep stating (as far as I can remember, which is about 3 seconds ago) that there is no 1 size fits all, and binary security sucks and has no hope of representing this... I don't think sticking a logo on the chrome will fix this issue either...
