Why is NetSurf so fussy?

One really annoying feature of NetSurf (RO front end) is that it won't
let you paste text from an html file into the URL field. This is
something I regularly want to do when, for example, there's a bit of
Javascript that redirects me to a different page. I have to view the
source and then change the filetype to Text before copying the new URL
to the clipboard. This shouldn't be necessary. I should be able to
past plain text copied from any file type (could be html, css, csv,
ImpDoc, MSWord, etc.) into the URL field or "Open URL" window. I think
I raised this as a feature request a long time ago.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
