Yeah, those URIs are more troublesome. My thought was that initially, we'd just
support URIs as nouns (the way the architecture of the Web claims they should
be used) mapping to contacts.

If we want to support URIs (mis)used as verbs as well, we'd need to add a
separate ActOnURI(s: URI) option that did "something appropriate".

However, I think URIs as verbs are likely to need rather more UI than the CM
can offer on its own, and contain additional cans of worms that I don't want
blocking the simpler feature. URIs for many (all?) actions shouldn't actually
perform the action, they should just open up appropriate UI to prepare to do it
(e.g. fill in the message as a draft, or whatever, so the user just has to
press Send to confirm).
