Very, very good idea.
This could be a _standard_ way to print the domain name in the browser
bar. A very simple way could just be to print every URL in the bar with
a different color for each level. This does not change anything in any
procedure and can be very easily tought and understood. If one
standardizes the colors it may help customer support, advertizing,
discussing, etc? permitting to speak of the "blue", "red", "green" part
of a discussed URI. This would be far easier for lay people than to talk
of first, second, etc. level - whatever the language.
I suggest you write a private Draft of this asap. Probably a single page
enough. Mozilla could make it an immediate update if it would be an RFC
on the standard track. This is would stop the developing campaign of
concerns, with something which would be considered as positive.
Or, would this be for the W3C?

right-to-left DNS and IDN spoofing problems *could* be addressed at
the UI level by providing a *tool* that security-conscious users could
*choose* to use.
