One of the reasons I am pursuing the SMB URI scheme is that Apple has implemented it. I did get support from the SMB client developer for OSX. I will be rubbing elbows with him in a couple of weeks... KDE also went a little wild with <random_scheme_name>: stuff, but have since pulled most of it. They used to have something like gg: for doing a Google search.
