That is why it does not solve the trust problem.

Which in the case of OpenID isn't what we are after....Validated
certificates (of which EV is just one form) can be used for
authentication and for assuring to the provider about WHO the owner of
a digital identity (OpenID URI) is. The provider could reflect that
fact to relying parties, should the user wish to do so. It doesn't
solve the trust problem between the RP and the provider.<br>

I'm disagree with this. As per my understanding, the digital
certificate provides integrity, authentication and non-repudiation.
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_certificate">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_certificate</a>). And with the
help of trusted third-party (CA), it provides trust relationships.
Is there something with OpenID requirements, that I'm not getting?
Please help me out...
