Yup. It occurs to me we might want to consider optimizing the
"history completion" for the find-URL interface, so that first the
completion mechanism would let you pick from a short list of URL
types, then the history/completion mechanism would allow you to select
from a short list of hosts (w/ user spec if appropriate), and finally
the path part.
I _think_ this would require an extension of the completion mechanism,
but I'm not even sure of that.
