This is what happens when a platform starts to use URIs for things they 
weren't designed for. If I recall correctly, this issue has been 
discussed on the TAG mailing list a long time ago (once the iPhone SDK 
came out?).

Apple is well known for using URIs for things they arent't designed for, 
*and* then (consequently?) not registering them (itms and ical come to 
mind).

The real question here is: what can we do to educate them?
