Ooops... Looks like Bruce is right:

GLOBAL is a faulting system, for defaults to fall through from
application-specific overrides.

Of course, this means we now need a prefix for our entries, since the naked
"scheme" isn't kosher for GLOBAL. So how about:

GLOBAL/URL:http
GLOBAL/URL:ftp
GLOBAL/URC:
GLOBAL/URN:

and so on? (the rule is, default_key == prefix of legal WWW address).
