As someone who wears another open-source hat which is heavily involved in parsing URLs I cannot stress enough how much I think postgres should avoid this. The example url http://http://http://@http://http://?http://#http:// is a valid url, but is rejected by a number of implementations and parsed differently by most that accept it. A URL datatype is a *good idea* but one which I personally believe is best handled as an external extension. -- Daniel Gustafsson
