Thanks for calling Freenet advocates "idiots"
Pot, kettle, black. You are the one implying that potential Freenet users are afraid of perfectly legal URLs, and can only handle non-standard and non-cross platform URIs which will probably become a support nightmare as avid users of obscure browser XYZ email support wondering why, having installed Freenet, these mysterious freenet:xxx URIs they keep seeing don't work.

pity from my side than anything else. "http://localhost:8888"; is what people find weird. They're used to "http://"; "ftp://"; etc and for them Freenet isn't "serious" until treated likewise.
Erm, "http://localhost:8888"; begins with "http://"; - it is a standard and perfectly legal URL, freenet:xxx is not. If they were to be uncomfortable with anything, it would be the non-standard URI format.
I'll look into what needs to be done, and simply do it. It doesn't matter if you think it's purely cosmetic or not :)
If you want, but I will certainly not advocate that people use it as it will promote incompatability between users with different browsers.
Ian.
