/usr/bin/open is not necessarily suitable. For example, I have configure my system so that if I `open` a .html file, it opens into my text editor, because I frequently edit html files.

You are technically correct, but I suspect your use case is going to be applicable only for a small group of users who are also developers.
/usr/bin/open is the command-line interface to the LaunchServices API, which is supposed to handle all this. I am not aware of any clean way to query Safari's preferences to determine the default browser without groveling through plist files, or perhaps AppleScript.
(Looking on the web, I see your openbrowser script does exactly that--grinds through plist files via Perl--but that introduces an additional dependency. I'd suggest that using a system-bundled tool is almost always better. It's certainly simpler.)
