           Summary: [chromium] getData('text/uri-list') should return the
                    same thing that was passed to setData('text/uri-list')
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Right now, we strip out comments and potentially change line endings. It's probably nice to have it return the same thing that was passed in (the comments might be useful, for instance).

How do other browsers handle it?
IE8: Calling setData('URL') doesn't work. The only time you can set URLs in IE seems to be when you're dragging anchors--and it's not you setting it, it's implicitly set by the browser.
IE9: Same as IE8 as far as I can tell. I could be wrong though.
Firefox: Seems to handle URL and text/uri-list as separate types. Also allows anything to be set in the 'URL' member.
Safari: My test isn't working in Safari at the moment, but as far as I can tell, it probably returns what you set for text/uri-list (and URL as well, though that's probably a bug).

As I interpret the standard, getData('URL') should never return an invalid URL.
