Oh, I've bought code certificates before - I didn't realise the ridiculous process I had to go through was "extended validation "?!
I had to give them a published telephone number for a callback. I don't publish a phone number, so I setup a Skype Number and published it in a free Yellow Pages kind of site - they did a callback, which obviously totally proves I work for Acme Stuff, and then I removed the listing and Skype Number.
I recall there were a couple of other bits of theatre I had to endure, publishing information on random listing sites that don't do any validation of their own, but I don't remember exact what.
