+		<para>
+URI scheme handling (such as a movie player handling mms:// URIs, or a Podcast program 
+handling feed:// URIs) are handled through applications handling the x-scheme-handler/foo
+mime-type, where foo is the URI scheme in question.
+		</para>
+		<para>
+This scheme allows URI scheme handling to enjoy the same benefits as mime-type handlers,
+such as the ability to change the default handler, the cross-desktop support, and
+easier application launching.
