I really don't want to fight over any issue, I, as a user, want to share with you the current state on this topic and (as I said on the letter) with "a friendly open letter in the pursuit to make a polite request to make the life of millions easier" give you some of the reasons why I think it should be implemented ASAP. I already checked this proposed specs: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5870 http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-schemes.xml http://www.w3.org/wiki/UriSchemes But my experience waiting for many browsers implementations tell me the process is slow and it looks like it works by the interest of each brand, I really feel sorry for the "Web SQL Database" spec that was later removed, I really hope the "geo" URI scheme could be implemented. I know the "registerProtocolHandler" but it doesn't work exactly as proposed, "geo" "protocol" isn't accepted on Chrome, only "protocols" with the "web-" prefix and the URL parameter have to match the webpage that make the request, it is designed for websites, not for local apps, all this conclusions made by the tests I have done with the latest beta of Chrome and FireFox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/navigator.registerProtocolHandler http://updates.html5rocks.com/2012/02/Getting-Gmail-to-handle-all-mailto-links-with-registerProtocolHandler Again, thanks for your attention and help.
