As the URL in .gitmodules is only an initial default, it probably could be optional: if you work on a supermodule with a submodule of your own, it is easily possible that you have no idea about what a reasonable default of a submodule URL should be at the time you do the first supermodule commit. It makes no sense to have to provide a bogus URL there.
