Well these are two different things. One is a naming issue, where the
name of a structure member is more than misleading. On the other hand
we have the INI setting which currently only allows to chose between
all and nothing. That means, if you need to enable one of the external
url handlers then you are forced to allow them all and by that lowering
your security settings.

Sara's patch now gives a much better control. Regardless of whether
extension writers read the docu or not. However we might wantto rename
the structure member.
