no website can spoof the EV appearance of the site identity
button and, with the ssl_domain_display pref set to non-zero, (and
appropriate care given to IDN issues), they can't for regular SSL either.

Right, and I'm extremely glad that we are going this route. I also suggest to look on ways to signal to the user when we really expect a secured site (see Jean-Marc's message).

It's extremely annoying to confirm every form submission when unsecured (it's my current setting) - if we could indicate only on password fields or other suspicious combination's (as phishers would most likely start avoiding the password tag altogether), it would be a useful indicator.
