This requires less mapping logic to be built into the UA, and seems worth considering. I don't think we assumed that the Presentation API would define or mandate support for any particular scheme, just that it doesn't prevent UAs from implementing such schemes. My worry is, if we allow arbitrary schemes, interop testing becomes impossible. That’s a mandatory step in the standardization process (see “Test suite”): http://webscreens.github.io/charter/#other-deliverables Examples of features that have bad interop record include <object>, <embed>, <applet>, and friends. Try pages with such content on your mobile device of choice, and generally you’ll feel sad. Thanks, -Anssi
