It would be useful to allow registerContentHandler() also to be used inside <img> tags, but also I don't think too much people will be creating their own file formats that would require registerContentHandler() in the same way they would create their own custom protocols, so maybe loose the symmetry here makes sense... > And "cool feature" is not a solid enough use case I > think for the complexity it brings. > I agree ;-) By "cool feature" I means that it wide open the usage posibilities, for example someone would create a 'wiki:' protocol to add links to Wikipedia and when when used on a <img> tag like 'wiki:images/dog.png' 'would insert images directly, or a 'youtube:' protocol to insert videos on a <video> tag. This would require to have registered the protocol, obviously, but the same happens if they are set on a link that people can click and surf... -- "Si quieres viajar alrededor del mundo y ser invitado a hablar en un monton de sitios diferentes, simplemente escribe un sistema operativo Unix." – Linus Tordvals, creador del sistema operativo Linux
