Assuming that the webcal: back-end for the calendar changes to not block out URIs that aren't webcal:, we would support whatever protocols gnome-vfs supports. And since that support is based on loadable modules, specifying what URIs an application supports, in a text file that is in the system shared data tree, doesn't work so well. Doing similar inside of Evolution ourselves would just add to the trouble, especially since the data is in the .server files. A method for dynamically registering what URIs something can load seems like a better goal to me, especially if we want to be making the back-end stuff more public, so that people can write back-ends that support whatever custom URI schemes they may use for storing data. The more general case of registering supported protocols with the mime system is something that should probably take place on xdg-list or the vfs-list also. -- dobey
