The validation requirements for 'Extended Validation' certificates can be onerous - complete with in-person ID checks, and photocopies of passports and driving licenses signed by public notaries. I'm not sure automated transfers would be possible.

I suppose you could downgrade on automatic transfer. I've heard people question the value of EV certs, and certainly a working DV cert is better than a revoked EV cert. Or you could insist every EV cert applicant verify their identity with two different CAs.
