Not really xdnd protocol specifics, rather X11 DND specifics.  
x-dnd-types-alist is the only place a user can configure what to do 
with URL:s.  Some want to open them in a browser, some want to insert 
the URL text. I think it would be much more flexible if the mac C code 
generated x-dnd.el compatible events.  That must be easy.

And please don't do (raise-frame) (recenter).  I really dislike 
applications that raises windows and scrolls without being told to do 
so.  At least make it an option, default off.
