To solve this use case we need some way to open unnamed input and output streams, letting UAs decide what data to pipe in and out based on acceptable Internet media types. This way UAs could filter applicable scripts from a large repo given one or more input and/or output files of known type, for the user to select from. Think: A context menu giving suggested actions for a file, or vice versa. Oh, and this could hopefully be standardized for programs written in other languages as well. [/Big Words sans Code]
