Great idea, but. I tried it and it doesn't quite work. If you pass a
url to open, it apparently ignores the -a parameter on the call and
calls what it thinks is the correct browser. I verified this behavior in
the terminal shell as well as in the eclipse plugin. If I'm calling a
browser, I would normally be passing a url. Any suggestions, or is there
another way to call launch services from the command line.

You could use the osascript command to run a little AppleScript:
osascript -e 'tell application "Safari" to set the URL of (make new document
at the beginning of documents) to "http://www.apple.com";'
