The origin of a download is one of the best / most important
indicators people have right now (which, by itself, is a bit of a
shame). I just think it would be a substantial regression to make it
possible for microsoft.com or google.com to unwittingly serve .exe /
.jar / .zip / .rar files based on third-party markup.

Firefox and MSIE display the origin fairly prominently, IIRC; Chrome
displays it in some views. But deficiencies of current UIs are
probably a separate problem.
