1. emacs -Q
2. M-x url-handler-mode 
2. C-x C-f http://www.gnu.org
3. Note that the buffer is in Org-mode.

In emacs-devel, Stefan was indicating one should peek in to the
media-type of the downloaded content and take appropriate action. 

See this post 

   http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-07/msg00124.html

and also the followups to that post.

The context of the discussion was how to browse with C-x C-f (i.e., turn
url-handler-mode) and have eww/shr render the buffer, if the downloaded
content is indeed an html file.
