That's *not* part of the EV SSL standard. I'll bring this up to the

(ftr, the EV SSL standard doesn't include a single thing about  
presentation, and if you want a good laugh, I'd be happy to tell you  
the history of the "green bar" treatment ... in the meantime, some  
good background on EV is here http://wiki.mozilla.org/EV)
