  What if you don't want to paste, but rather type in a new URL?  If you want 
to avoid the selection set, you have an option of using the context menu of 
the combo, or lots of backspace.  That sucks IMHO.  Clearing the location bar 
is a very common action.

   I was just experimenting, and there is one use for the Go button.  If you 
drop a URL on the combo, it doesn't activate.  The only way to activate it is 
via the keyboard or the Go action.  If we want keyboardless navigation (very 
desireable for konqueror (think Kiosk)), we need that action.  Alternatively 
we could automatically activate urls that are dropped there (the way they are 
on the Location: label).
