I suggest to ask for a string with (read-string "URL: " nil nil default),
offering the content of the clipboard/kill ring/selections as the DEFAULT.
I think it's better to be explicit when downloading content, and there
isn't much overhead in asking for a confirmation.

I suggest that the right place for those files is as attachment, and
that's where customization should happen. The function choosing the
right place (i.e. org-download--dir) could be turned into a defvar or
defcustom which could then be set either to #'org-download--dir or
#'org-attach-dir.

ISTR that MSDOS (except the latest versions) didn't allow spaces in
filenames :) Anyway, I tend to avoid spaces as much as I can in
filenames (including dirs)

It is an option if there are enough examples/built-ins that can be used.
e.g. message-send-mail-function can be customized in this way, its
docstring gives a list of meaningful values.
