Surely the document you signed as Purchasing Manager of BigCorp contained
the name of BigCorp and your title. The relying party should, therefore, have
looked up that certificate, not your chess club certificate. You probably
sent the classy cert. when you first placed a purchase order with XYX Corp.
That's much the way the world works pre-digitally. Digital signatures will very
likely follow in the same groove, well established by custom.
