Comment:

 The current approach seems fine, but I think it requires a few tweaks.

 * It doesn't detect broken URLs when pasting URLs over text.
 * The visual feedback is rough, see [attachment:36638.highlighting.png].
 The red underline is coming from a spellchecker, the red dotted outline is
 for the broken URL.
 * The title attribute might be not the best idea in terms of a11y. Maybe
 we should use `wp.a11y.speak()`? cc: @afercia
