"and required by EV" ?
Eddy, the EV Guidelines impose certain requirements on Intermediate CAs *when*
they are used, but AFAIK they don't mandate that Intermediate CAs MUST be
used.
Visit https://www.securetrust.com in FF3 for an example of an EV-enabled Root
Certificate (CN = SecureTrust CA) that issues EV SSL Certificates without
involving any Intermediate CA(s) in the certificate chain.
Did just that....and this site's certificate is signed by "SecureTrust
CA" which chains to "Entrust.net Secure Server Certification Authority".
But besides that, it's perhaps not clearly defined in the EV Guidelines,
but section 7 suggests that there are no roots issuing directly.
