When I first started up with Perma I advocated a really aggressive shift in how we cite websites, using something that looks a lot more like other legal citations. Maybe something like: Example Title, perma.cc/T75S-NF5K (<original domain>, <capture date>). ... where "perma.cc/####" can be treated as a URL if you like, but also just as a legal cite like "### U.S. ###". This looks so much nicer in legal citations. There's lots of interesting variations along these lines. Buuuut that's basically a non-starter for most of the legal profession (including courts and law reviews) that just want their citations to make sense to readers today. For now the Bluebook is recommending a much more verbose vendor-neutral "(archived at <url>)" citation format (with Perma as an example!), and we're happy with that.
