Good point, I also thought of this. But when users want to paste
multiple URIs into a text, doesn't the assumption usually hold that it
should be embedded into a floating text?

When apps are specifically interested in "valid" URI lists, they can
explicitly use gtk_selection_data_targets_include_uri() and
gtk_selection_data_get_uris().
