Logotypes should be tied to X.509 certificates that have been strongly
vetted per EV rules or similar.  WSC cannot mandate EV specifically
since it's not a standard.  Plus we should leave the door open to other
communities to create "EV-like" X.509 schemes.  My industry is currently
considering just that.

On a related note, the CAB Forum should turn over their EV spec to an
industry standards body.  ANSI X9F has invited them to submit it as a
replacement for X9.79 (on which WebTrust is based) but their response
was non-committal.

Should the display of logotypes associated with certificates be tied to
the use of Extended Validation certificates?
