Had the same idea over a year ago, still planning on putting it into my custom browser (I'm kind of lazy at dev). I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone else to write about it. There's a crap load of ways that this will make browsers better, and no real reason not to do it. You can even put the http back in the link, and have the same kind of drop down to select from http/https/ftp/etc (but with user friendly names like Web, File, etc).
