The example seems a little bit exagerated due to the Mozilla certificate, that looks like the major problem there.

Anyway, most of the users don't really care about urls past the origin (IIRC Safari only shows the origin).

Bryan, can you clarify if there's anything we want to do here? I expect not, but perhaps you have ideas.

I agree with Marco that the cert is the bigger offender here. The empty space in the toolbar is to help when dragging that window around and is by design, so this is a won't fix situation.
