Comment (by nofearinc):

 Replying to [comment:6 dd32]:
 >  * Removed is_url(), I feel that people might mistake its purpose, I'd
 also like to expand on the invalid url prevention in 3.1 to prevent URL's
 which do not load the Current WordPress instance. (Theres another ticket
 somewhere for this)

 Is that still a valid point? There are different cases of user input for
 website fields and some get in as relative URLs instead due to the lack of
 a standardized is_url function. Any thoughts of adding one as helper?
