It should just use an alist of (DND-TYPE . FUNCTION) pairs so the user can
define his own preferences (in the case where there's some subtyping, e.g., I
see you checking if the data is `some text type', you could look for more
specific type in the alist first, and if not found, look for a more generic
supertype like`text').

Personally, I'd like URLs to be just inserted, as I _very_ often want to copy
a url from mozilla into a mail message or something, and having such an
alist would make it simple for me to implement this.
