That was suggested in this thread a month ago and got a few +1s, from myself 
included.  I've not bothered writing a patch to do so because I don't think I 
can do it in the old forms API (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and the new 
forms API hasn't gone in yet (and I don't know if it can do it, either).  
That would solve the main usability problem right now, and it wouldn't even 
need to be translated. :-)  (It wouldn't help marketing matters, but that's a 
separate issue.)  

If it can be done in the new forms API, I'd say wait for that to hit core then 
put the $base_url before the text box.  It shouldn't take more than a moment, 
and I'm willing to do so myself if someone can give me a brief tutorial on 
the new forms API. :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
