Re: [whatwg] Adding "ipfs" to the safelisted schemes

Hi Domenic

Thank you for getting back to me.

side.

Is it correctly understood that with "implementers" you refer to the team
behind each browser implementation? Firefox whitelisted "ipfs" as a safe
scheme in January 2018:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c2cb8a06bcf1

I know that Firefox is more "out there" being a trailblazer for new
features but it does indicate that  there is a case for adding "ipfs" to
the safelisted schemes provided in the HTML specs 8.7.1.3 "Custom scheme
handlers: the registerProtocolHandler() method"  (
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/system-state.html#safelisted-scheme)

update this list.

Pressure is built one drop at a time.
