Just a guess, likely unrelated to actual decision. For links like 
"lisp:" or "shell:" keeping link type does not have much sense (however 
stripping it is questionable as well).

From my point of view, e.g. <elisp:(identity "a")> should be exported 
as plain text <code>(identity "a")</code> rather than an (invalid due to 
not escaped quotes inside href) link <a href="(identity "a")">(identity 
"a")</a>.

I still believe that fallback export should preserve link type. Code 
links should define their export functions.
