Practically, this won't be of much use. Most users don't care about this kind of stuff at all. Who actually checks every time the visual clues for secure connections given in a web browser before entering data?
There are even some people who provide their credentials (for bank or computer accounts) in emails from a "system administrator".

So, frankly, I don't think that the idea you advocate will be of much use in practice.

I do, thank you very much. With your reasonment one should remove those visual clues for secure connection? A bad idea.

Being useful to those who do these checks is enough to make the feature useful in my opinion.
