(In fact, before Firefox in the Netscape days, the browser had built-in support, but that's another story...) I haven't ever noticed such extensions showing up in popularity lists. So you're totally right that it's possible for users to access these links in browsers today. But without evidence that a significant number of them *do*, that doesn't change the picture. Any increase in deployment of support for these links, whether in the form of built-in browser UI or downloaded browser extensions, would count as "new support" that we should consider. Personally I would have liked "next" at least to have been successful, but it hasn't, and that's that.
