Verisign already verifies your business and employee standing. The problem is that not everyone does as deep of a check.
Certificates by the leading cert authorites (Verisign, etc) are already WAY overpriced for what it takes to issue them. I imagine this will give them reason to jack up the prices even more than the existing overinflated prices.
And when these new certificates become lax because of trying to maintain consistency of the many certificate authorites that issue them, they will offer super duper certificates. Meanwhile businesses will be required to keep buying more expensive certificates at each point.
