They should have just been moved to bdsk-url-n fields (n is an integer > 0),
not removed.  I think there's an option to leave them in place, as well, but
it's been a long time since I looked at that.

Due to importing RIS files, many of us have a bunch of dead and/or really
ugly links that were mapped to the URL field.  In my opinion, something like
this:

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6VCX-4HHWW6B-1/2/678838a54f31b
1356886e8a701274ca4

...looks awful in a reference list, especially if the style blindly includes
a URL, regardless of publication type.

Likewise.  Feel free to use the bibdesk-users at sourceforge mailing list for
further discussion.
