This is correct for WWW Users but will be complete different if the cert is allowed for client/mail authentication.
In this case the OV certificate can fulfill legal requirements as an replace for signature on legal documents.
And also there is no chance to use an DV cert for MS code signing while OV should be possible. People often
forget that X509-Ceritifcate are not only used for WebPages. For example OV can be used in some API cases with
WebServices or XML-Signining to generate invoices where you do not need to verify the company address.
