Thanks, Anders. :)

I should point out that we aren't looking at this from a Web-only
perspective... the Web Handler architecture needs to bridge both Web and
native apps. It should be just as easy to register a native app to
handle Web Handler Requests as it is to register and use a Web-based
handler.

The point here is that implementers should have a choice between both
options, because that's what's good for the people using the Web.
