This sounds to me like a perfect solution.  It maintains most of the currently used (and
useful) functionality, while at the same time closing the hole, as far as I can see.  Does
anyone have an idea whether this is under discussion by the folks at mozilla?

Seconded. It could get a little annoying if link colors depended on whether I brought up www.lwn.net, lwn.net, https://lwn.net, and so on. But most of the time it would be fine, and a little heuristics (such as storing just the second level domain) would do the rest.
