Where exactly is this used? According to printf debugging, Firefox
accepts "text/uri-list" and navigates to the selected location when
dragging such a URI to its location bar. [1] also claims that

"The good news: Unlike the drop problems, all tested programs
(Konqueror, Kate, Firefox, Opera, Nautilus) seem to be able to handle
correct URIs dragged to them in the right way. Even Firefox accepts
text/uri-list data."

I'm convinced that passing around files encoded as Netscape URIs isn't a
good idea, after all it just seems to be used because you can associate
a title with URIs, but neither the Firefox bookmark editor nor Ephy's
equivalent does seem to accept them.
