Sorry, I fear I've confused you even further.

Those two intermediate CAs will issue only EV Certificates.  The naming 
convention is correct to imply that this is the case.

No.  Absolutely not.

Yes.  To repeat what I said...
"As it happens, we also have a further subordinate CA under COMODO 
Certification Authority, which we already use for issuing one of our brands 
of DV certificate.  We also have plans to issue an IV/OV subordinate at some 
point.  As before, I'll defer to Robin Alden to answer any CPS-related 
questions you may have about this.  I apologize on behalf of Comodo if we 
have inadvertently omitted to draw your attention to some of this information 
sooner."
