If this is a feature, then it is a mis-feature, and there should be some way to turn it off. When I copy a URL, I later want this URL to be pasted to the console. When I copy a paste on the hard-disk, I later want this path to be pasted. I don't want to paste a path when pasting a URL or a URL when pasting a path. 

Examples for cases where not pasting the file: prefix is annoying if not destructive:

1. The svn client example.

2. Editing a file using a console text editor (like joe or vim), and wishing
to paste a "file:///" URL. Not everybody are using an X editor, you know.

3. Using Lynx.

4. Invoking Mozilla or whatever from the command-line.

In all of this cases this "feature" is annoying. Generally, you should not assume that you know better than the user. Please create an option to disable this annoying behaviour.
