Let me restate what is being said, to see if people agree:

The URL that is in the browser's address bar is dangerous because users
share it with the expectation that it, by itself, conveys no authority.

Thus any URLs that *do*, by themselves, convey authority must not be
displayed in a browser's address bar.
