They are?  I've rarely seen it.
I think that if it's in the certificate, then they have verified them.
I can remember in the bad old days providing CAs with notorized articles
of incorporation, etc.
I haven't done that this decade though, and I haven't seen that kind of
info.
CAs won't include anything they can't verify.

yes, they do by sending a challenge to it.

Most won't include OIDs.

No, SSIDs are a local matter.
One could (and I do), use FQDNs as the SSID.

That's the only way I can see this working.
