Most of the time when I've wanted to give a URL to something in a mud,
I've actually wanted to insert "after you connect, type the following
stuff too". So
mud://some.mud.com:4000/
isn't good enough. What I really wanted was something that meant:
mudclient some.mud.com 4000
log in as guest unless you already have an account
type 'go north west east'
type 'look board'
mud://guest:guest@some.mud.com:4000/go%20north%20west%20east/look%20board
with the corresponding security issues associated with 'forced user
typein'. (Similar to the issues with expanding 'mailto:').
