Comment:

 +1 for highlighting it.  anything that kills paste ability is bad.  BUT,
 we could also check for double http:// or https:// on the backend like so:

 {{{
 $url = preg_replace('|^http(s)?://http(s)?://|', 'http$2://', $url);
 }}}

 I see people doing that ALL the time, so this could be once of those nice
 "it just works" features.  Even with highlighting, people are going to get
 it wrong sometimes.
