(I am not commenting on the technical necessity of a cert.)
No, I think the point that was made at today's talk (and correct me if I
got it wrong) was that if I am the operator of, for example,
www.bigclearwebwebsite.com (who, by default of big known to the
Internet, I am not worried about the anonymity of my site or those who
operate it).
I want to create a www.bigclearwebwebsite.onion site (which of course
would be more like www.xhsjeflflajdfyeysksldpfiejcc.onion), I can do
this by getting a HTTPS cert for my .onion address.
The objective of it (from a users point of view) would be the tieing the
identity of the *clear web* site and the *.onion site* together to give
the user some trust that bigclearwebwebsite.onion is in fact the same as
the .com site.
(Replace bigclearwebwebsite. with DuckDuckGo, Facebook, etc)
