I don't like this idea from a consistent UI standpoint, but I understand
why it's useful.  The idea is that people can click to the Address Field
to enter a new URL to visit.  Currently, OmniWeb treats this like any
line of text, following normal UI rules of single/double/triple clicking
that affects cursor placement and text selection.  But it's more work to
triple click the Address Field just to select the old URL and overwrite
it with the new URL.  To do the same thing, how about letting the user
single click on the bookmark symbol next to the URL?
