Hmm, I sometimes access remote directories using Emacs on a terminal
where placing the mouse pointer over the hyphen doesn't work, so I can't
see the host name which is even more important to know than default-directory.
Maybe a better variant would be to display a string "@hostname.tld" on the
mode line? For instance, to display it after the buffer file name like
"address@hidden"?
