Ideally, we should ask Emacs devs to provide OS-independent interface
for uri-list handling. I am not a big fan of adding special OS handling
to Org mode, unless absolutely necessary.

And the discussed _minor_ problem is not so big deal that we should
complicate the code and, more importantly, maintenance so much.

I have no objections.
