Having read this whole thread, I don't see what preventing phishing has 
to do with menu bars in particular, or even What-WG in general. 
Phishing is an increasing problem with Web apps right now, even when 
they don't use pull-down menus or any other fancy elements.

Browser vendors could make phishing harder without requiring any user 
intervention, but I'd rather not clutter this list with the technique 
because it seems rather off-topic.
