For any site, like say cnn.com, On the bottom bar in the large grey space that
has some info have a "view" option to show the whois info for any site we can do
a simple whois for.  Just another option, but I think is worth a thought. 
Upside, if used correctly, you 'd have a little more background on who
regiserted the domain possibly having a large impact on who these things are
reistered under.. downside I can quickly think of... people may eventually use
to advertise... but then again, in the end, it should be an option that you can
turn on or off.  
Whois: CNN.COM registered to 1 CNN center          or
Whois: 

Reproducible: Always

This is extension material. It's not something that will benefit most users, and
it is easily achievable with a fairly simple extension.
