Text from what source?  From Chromium itself?  Does the chromium code add a url
for non-url data?

It appears that Safari will only add the URL type for things which look like
URLs.  If you type http://apple.com in a random text field and then try to drag
it to the Safari bar, it works.  However "foo bar baz" does not.

It seems this should be fixed with smarts on both the writer and reader side. 
The writer should only write the URL type when things look like URLs.  The
reader should be able to support plain text (not just urls) and should just do
a Google search for the contents of the plain text (maybe only supporting it if
the plain text is under some character limit).  Then we'd correctly create the
URL type only for things that look like URLs (thus we'd integrate with the rest
of the OS better) and we'd support searching for stuff in Google (which safari
already supports by the fact that the Google search bar accepts any text type
as a drop).
