I haven't had a chance to use Stefan's url history code yet to see how
it works, but hopefully i'll get around to it soon.  But I don't think
it is acceptable for call process to fail just because
default-directory is bound to a url. (There are other problems like
bogus invalid entries in file-name-history -- resulting from a merging
a relative pathname to a url) which also argue against setting the
default-url in general (it may make sense in a specific use case)
