So my point was that having news.ycombimator.com in the title and address bar is not going to flag anything if they both match and have a SSL cert that's been signed by an authority.

Probably more relevant is that if I have registered luxowatch.com to sell my lovely watches, but am a small store, I certainly won't have registered (as yet) a bunch of global domains. There's nothing stopping you registering luxowatch.co.uk or luxowatch.net with a valid SSL cert to scam my potential customers. Cloning my site to one of those domains (with cert) can be done almost instantly for close to zero cost.
