Re: White-listing vs black-listing

Yes, they do, but this Petnames business can protect against something *else*. Say I set a Petname for amazon.com to be 'Amazon Bookstore'. Now some tricky email directs me to amafon.com, and I'm blind, so I don't see the s/z/f/. The Petname 'Amazon Bookstore' will *not* come up, making it obvious I'm not at Amazon.

Note of course that there will be a nice yellow lock icon anyway, because Amafon.com has bought a security certificate certifying that they are Amafon.com.
