This is a quibble, but how 'bout making the damage bonus from "Battle Smite" and unnamed bonus instead of enhancement? It's not a massive power-up, allows Battle Smite to work with the domain's level 2 ability, and most importantly, cuts down on the math.
Instead of "Um, does this stack? Ok, 1/2 character level, minus, um, 3 for my sword ..." all you have to remember/explain to your fellow PC is "You get +4 damage. Ok. -Smack orc- Done."

or ... how about making it a sacred/profane bonus. It does come from a deity, after all, and there are far too few instances of this bonus for my liking. Obviously, the sacred vs. profane indicator would depend on the deity's alignment, with neutral deities going the same direction as the positive vs. negative energy question.
