When showing links (e.g originating from markdown, but really any html output) 
we should do something about links that could be misleading.  For example with 
`<a href=https://evil.com/>sourceforge.net/auth/</a>` we could automatically 
append `(evil.com)` into the output so its obvious when its misleading.

We should also check for non-ascii domain names (IDN) and if they have chars 
that are potentially confusing with normal ascii, then show the decoded domain 
name (even if the link & text match, if the chars could be confusing)
