I've taken this proposal and the Web Intents proposal (amongst others) 
and written up a proposal that attempts to merge them here:

   http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2012-July/036719.html

If anyone has any feedback on that, please e-mail the WHATWG list.

(For background: The editors of the Web Intents draft suggested a few 
months back that I spec such a thing in the HTML spec, superceding their 
work and integrating it with the register*Handler() methods.)
