Well the range of branchOf is just Organization, as far as I can see, so I 
don't think that the question arises here.   My proposal would make the bare 
text be a description of the organization. Extra-logical processing would have 
to make the determination of just what that bare text was, and what extra to 
do, if anything.

For a range of URL, then, yes, there would need to be a determination if the 
bare text was a URL or not.  If so, then it would be considered to be a URL.
