Comment #3 on issue 7280 by hirsch.will: Security/feature: Show form action  
when hovering submit buttons
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7280

That's a pretty feeble argument. It's like saying that showing the URL of  
the current
page in the address bar isn't important because phishing is an important  
problem.
Today's security vulnerabilities, including clickjacking, are largely based  
on
voluntary granting of privilege to malicious parties under false pretences.  
You can
compile as comprehensive a blacklist as you like, but there will be some  
sites which
slip the net. Yet for a phishing site, any reasonably informed user can  
recognise a
malicious site straight away from its URL and withhold any sensitive  
information. It
seems wholly logical, and also useful, to in the same way be able to see  
where a form
is going to be submitted to when you click it. Yet for today's end user,  
this is
impossible. Every other link, image and iframe can be inspected to see what  
URL they
come from or go to, but a form can not.
