[Bug 20799] launchURI method proposal

--- Comment #5 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> ---
Oh. I don't think we'd want to expose that at all, that seems like just more
bits for fingerprinting. If we did want to expose it, it seems a more direct
API would be a better solution ("isProtocolSupported()" or some such). But in
general, I would expect a platform to just support every protocol, and when the
user navigates to one that isn't _actually_ supported, the platform offers to
look up a handler for it somehow (the same way that e.g. Windows offers to look
up what software handles unknown MIME types).
