isn't it because urls are Number 1 for phishing thou? wouldn't removing urls altogether and move towards full identity checks be better for the web? and relying on citibank singapore to hire the right people to fix their website... never going to happen.

Hey we'd be open to it, but we'd really prefer to have an RFC to read...

Instead, we got a quiet auto-update, without patch notes.

Good bye, open web. It was fun while it lasted.
