Comment (by DJPaul):

 I would very much like to see r8638 moved out of `xprofile_set_field_data`
 and into a field type class/hooked to a field type class, something like
 Boone suggests.

 It took a lot of effort to remove all the xprofile field type checks that
 were hardcoded when I worked on this for 2.0. Plus, parsing a URL without
 using `parse_url`, and (for some reason) allowing extensions for `.php`
 files only, seems a bit off.

 To simplify, I suggest we don't support relative paths in the URL field
 type (at the moment?), and require absolute URLs. We can then use
 `esc_url_raw()` to both sanitise (if we're not already) and it will add a
 `http` prefix onto the URL if one is missing.
