Feature Request: Link check

Hello,

for phishing preventing:
Warn user if the link text is an url and does not match the href url

e.g.:
warn user:
<a href="h t t p : / / w w w . a m a z o n . d e . m y p h i s h i n g / r e n e w A c c o u n t . h t m l">h t t p : / / w w w . a m a z o n . d e / r e n e w A c o u n t . h t m l</a>

no not warn user:
... click <a href="h t t p : / / w w w . a m a z o n . d e . m y p h i s h i n g / r e n e w A c c o u n t . h t m l">here</a> to ...

This would prevent some account phishing attacks very easily.

Best Regards

P.S.: Please ignore SPACES, the wysiwyg editor always transformed them into links.

-1, we already have phishing protection in Opera. Also this is not an accurate way to warn a user.
Windows 7 SP1 x86 edition and Windows XP Service Pack 3.
If you need any help from me with regards to Opera, please make a comment on any of my blog posts.
