Ooh. I like this. We do need to create a registry with browser names and os names, to ensure everybody uses the same urls.
Perhaps we can add one more level for platform type and one for manufacturer/model?

Then it would be flexible enough to do thinks like:

http://data.webplatform.org/browser/desktop/chrome/30
http://data.webplatform.org/browser/desktop/chrome/30/osx
http://data.webplatform.org/browser/desktop/chrome/30/osx/10.8

Or:

http://data.webplatform.org/browser/mobile/android/4.2
http://data.webplatform.org/browser/mobile/android/4.2/samsung
http://data.webplatform.org/browser/mobile/android/4.2/samsung/galaxy-s3

Or:

http://data.webplatform.org/browser/mobile/chrome/30
http://data.webplatform.org/browser/mobile/chrome/30/android/4.2
