First of all, it's an optional entry so only exported if present. What I did
was consider which types of publications would tend to have a URL instead of
other bibliographic information and only include for those where it would
likely necessary. For instance, journal articles will be given a DOI so a URL
is less useful; technical reports, however, are likely to be hosted at an
institution's web site so a URL is likely useful.
But I must admit that I didn't spend much time thinking about which ones should
have it. I didn't want all of them because I often store the URL for a journal
article in the org file just for quick access but I do not want it exported to
BiBTeX as it would be messy and superfluous when the paper were cited.
I'm glad the patch seemed straightforward! Thank you.
