I've added a page to our wiki that describes how Firefox determines if a
particular website received the EV UI:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/EV_Processing_for_CAs

I mentioned this at the last CA/Browser Forum meeting and I hope it is
useful to CAs - especially those who are dealing with cross-signing and
legacy hierarchies.

Since there were no comments about requiring the use of the CA/Browser
Forum EV OID, we've left it as 'strongly encouraged', but I added it to our
issues list for the Root Store Policy:
