How about making it a configurable list; then just send anything that the uses specifies to the system to handle? (windows uses the registry for registering supported protocols).

...It is. Except possibly the only one in there about scripting.
* Altered scripted movement/resizing of prims to better resemble 1.12 smooth behavior

In plain English: smooth transitions between size and position of objects when they are resized or moved via a script as per release 1.12

The first version of url recognition is what is on the Focus Beta and is a nightmare. They fixed it in Aditi but was still causing some problems. This is thier latest version. I think I can live with it like this. The earleir versions were causing problems inside scripts and other windows, including while even trying to write a bug report. Because in SL, url recognition encompasses more then just the url entry box or a webpage, it is easier and safer to have it recognise a limited amount of options.

During the first two trials I know that a few of us had expressed a wish that it was limited in exactly this fashion.

Having to highlight the urls and make them clickable makes needless trouble to ill effect; instead , just let folks put their cursor in some letters, right click, and select "send to browser", without concern for whether it is valid or not. My browser does an autmatic search, for example, if you give it "golf" it looks up and finds www.golf.com. LL's method decreases functionality while increasing the amount of work the program has to do.

The requirement for http or https or secondlife in the Aditi grid is tolerable though, just not as good as it could be.

In the release notes for the latest Aditi version, in the line that says only urls that start with http://, https://, or secondlife://, the http:// and the https:// are highlighted, but the secondlife:// isn't. Oops.

secondlife:// Will not highlight by itself. It needs at least a sim name and forward slash:

secondlife NO
secondlife: NO
secondlife :// NO
secondlife://Edge NO
secondlife://Edge/ HIGHLIGHTED
secondlife://Edge/127,125 HIGHLIGHTED

Likely to wildly vary, given people can run SL in all kinds of screen resolutions, windows, and have ability to both lock fixed UI scale and pick that scale themselves.

This is a very very very bad idea.

Windows does not distinguish in the registry between protocol handlers that are designed to display untrusted content, and ones that are only intended for use internally. The list of handlers provided by Windows (or Mac OS X, for that matter, or I believe some desktops at least on Linux) can not be trusted.
