Note that if you copy/paste the contents of the URL box, the pasted text includes http:// or https:// or whatever was relevant.

I've had problems with this using the X buffer copy / paste on Ubuntu. It also makes copying just parts on the URL less intuitive.

Personally I don't see the benefit of removing the "http://. If this trend continues we may end up with something similar to AOL Keywords.
