I'm not sure how to judge that. This API is aimed at a problem we see today
given the way many platforms promote using custom schemes. It's a simple way to
allow a web page to take action based on whether a specific URI was supported
by the current platform configuration or not. Might Web Intents do similar
things in future? Perhaps.
