I think it's worth considering the user experience. Many tools that we use every day allow us to enter schema-less URLs. It makes sense, because writing `https://` every time is a chore.

I think it's worth asking how other apps do it. I suspect that they may use something like https://publicsuffix.org for a heuristic. We could experiment with that (or other options) to see how they cope with existing entries in the DB, etc.

Incidentally, I see there's a Ruby gem for those suffixes: https://github.com/weppos/publicsuffix-ruby.
