This is very nicely aligned with what we do in Maemo / MeeGo, via the
libcontentaction library.

Libcontentaction implements the same extension as proposed here, but
with "x-maemo-urischeme/*" instead of "x-scheme-handler/*".  (And we are
happy to adopt any official standard of course.)

Libcontenaction also uses the same approach to define actions for
content in Tracker (x-maemo-nepomuk/*), and for things like phone
numbers in text messages (x-maemo-highlight/*).

(Apologies for staying underground with that library until now and not
pushing for a proper standardization here.)
