That is the same as sayting that browsers have a "browsers url" because
they accept locations without the protocol part.
For instance, if you have a "mymother" entry in your addressbook, typing
"mymother" in the location bar should be enough for GM, and it should
try "h323:whatever".

This has an obvious easy fix ;)
