https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infobar is the UI element most web
browsers use today. We don't have it in Emacs AFAIK.
http://www.w3.org/TR/wsc-ui/#indicators and
http://www.w3.org/TR/wsc-ui/#Robustness are the W3C recommendations on
this topic. To summarize (but please please please read the document,
it's quite good):
* show identity signal in a consistent visual position where web content
can't obscure it
* make the identity signal human-readable
* let the user access the extra information like site owner and source
of trust; optionally expose even more
* have a distinct TLS indicator
* warning, caution, and danger messages should interrupt the user's
task (if in the foreground)
As I said, there is much more in the document. Of course, Emacs is not
just a web browser, so we must adapt rather than blindly adopt these
guidelines, but I hope we don't ignore them. Should I make a list of
concrete recommendations for EWW and Emacs in general based on that
document?
