I don't think people are likely to switch away from the browser, but that's just me. My point is that if it's not hard to make it accessible from the browser, why not give that people the choice? If BibDesk can expose an AppleScript command for something like "import from URL" or "load URL in web group" that launches the same importers that the web group would launch, then we need not ask people to make BibDesk their default research browser.
