That is correct, it would cause too many false positives to flag all
cases where real_URL != displayable_URL as phishing.
However you only need to list the domain you wish to protect in
daily.pdb, and not each (real_URL, displayable_URL) pair that could
cause problems.

When you list a domain, all possible subdomains are included too, so
yahoo.com would include mail.yahoo.com, www.yahoo.com, and anything else
that ends in .yahoo.com.
So listing H:yahoo.com would be equivalent to something like this as a
regular expression:
^(.+\.|[^.]+)yahoo\.com([/?].+)?$

I think this is more generic, if you just want to blacklist a certain
url combination you can use type 3 signatures (see the Phishing.RB.*
signatures).
