How would you make that work? How do you prove to the certification authority that you are the rightful owner of a certain SSID? What if a place somewhere else wants to use the same SSID? Who's supposed to decide (and based on what criteria?) who's the "rightful" owner of a particular SSID?

If the SSID is a hostname that’s easy, like it already is for secure websites.
