I’m a bit doubtful on that one since a filename-based approach is pretty
much guaranteed to break in a cross-platform environment, or even in a
single platform, from one version of the targeted app to another. I
guess I can live with it being a should, but I don’t think it’s a high
priority for the API.

Why? Shouldn’t that be left to the user-agent/OS to decide whether they
want to allow the notion of exclusive-handler, and offer it whenever an
application registers itself for a URI scheme or media type?
