I like this idea very much.

I think while we're stealing things from Safari we could look into
stealing their progress bar as well.  This would remove the spinner by
default, but leaving it around for advanced users to add to their
toolbars.

The Safari progress bar for all of those who haven't seen it in action
does a highlight across the address bar starting from left to right,
highlighting the whole address bar when the page has finished loading.
It's a very easy to understand progress meter, plus it saves screen
realestate at the same time.

Here's a screen shot:

Note the blue color running through the address bar, that's the progress
meter.

By the way, Epiphany is looking great Marco!
