Naah "surfing the web" is hardly the same as 10 years ago, nor is it what Tim Berners-Lee originally envisioned. It is in fact just one generation of a manifestation of a hypermedia system. The moment the location bar is gone, the moment most sites run rich state models on the client (think GWT/FWT), then things will seize to look like the web we know today.
Do you really think users needs to see complex URI's complete with protocol, domain, resource, anchor, parameters etc? I think not... and more then they need to see cookies, SSL certificates etc.The topic is likely to be resurrected with the coming of Chrome, ChromeOS I think.
