The current system (no clear button) is a goddamn pain with X's (admittedly 
retarded) handling of copy-paste. I understand the drive for simplicity, but 
it should not be an end in itself.

If anything, you can always make it a button outside the URL bar (like the 
reload button), people who do not want it can remove it via the "Configure 
toolbars" window.
