I believe the way those company CA packages work is that you have to get every 
certificate 'Ok'd' by your root CA.  I'm pretty sure you can't just up and 
create any cert (CA or otherwise) and call it globally valid.  But if you 
have details, do share.

In any case, what I'm talking about is WebTrust, which is not digital.  It's 
an evaluation of your organization by accountants.
