Good point. A possible direction is emphasizing the need to make it clear to the user who is presenting a particular piece of information, and providing a set of GUI conventions for communicating who is speaking. I am somewhat hopeful that we can get significant protection from phishing using only ceremonies involving the browser and the web site. I think it's feasible to represent third-party recommendations using page transitions. For example, my employer's web site provides a hyperlink to my 401k manager. If we can secure such introductions, we can support use of arbitrary recommendations. Tyler
