Legal entities who sign

["Anders Rundgren" <anders.rundgren@xxxxxxxxx>]

According to "e-lawyers", legal entities cannot sign as even
a delegated signer must be physical person.  This creates
huge practical problems and is also quite ridiculous, here
thinking of a CEO-certificate/key stored in a locked server-
room that not even the CEO may have a key to, and used by
business-systems, often completely out of the CEO's control.

Question: Would it be completely unthinkable that a
certificate policy stated that the owner of this certificate
(which only identifies a legal entity) has through its
management approved that the legal entity is to be held
legally responsible for all documents signed by this
certificate and associated key?'

This solution seems a bit related to Alexander the great
and the Gordian knot...
