I have a problem with this in the general case because I don't think there's currently a way for such a URI to be registered to a specific application in any major browser. And for the specific case, I can think of at least one use case where you might want to link to an ssh URI in a browser: HTTP-based admin interfaces to machines. And I'll also repeat my previous comment for emphasis: This concept is just confusing. -1 to the concept of using anything under the http/https scheme to formally represent an ssh identifier. -Bob Aman
