Yes. It should be fairly easy to use warn_unless [1] to encourage people 
to use canonical VCS fields. Cumputing the right canonical field will be 
a bit of a hack though.

Something like:

 warn_unless => {
   canonical_field => {
     code => 'my $name= $self->grab_value("- Source"); m!http://$name.com/!',
	fix => '  my $name= $self->grab_value("- Source"); "http://$name.com/"',
   }
 }

May be I should enhance ComputedValue to warn if a value is overridden to avoid this hacks.
Thus defining these canonical fields will be easier...

Do you know where are these canonical fields defined ?

All the best
