Permit me to summarize my requests/comments from the two bug reports and
discussion.
1. No brainer: please have konqueror show valid URIs (in particular the
file: scheme) in the konqueror so I can cut and paste them into other
browsers (for html/css rendering tests), do actions on them in klipper,
hand them to wget, curl, etc. For instance,
file:///tmp/ or file://localhost/tmp/ not file:/tmp
(or perhaps make it an option).
2. No biggie: consider registering the various URI schemes you are using
such that we have browser interop (if these were pervasive, I could
actually use them in html across browseres), collision prevention, and
appropriate security consideration. However, I know IETF/IANA can be a pain
on this point, so if informal mechanism achieve the same end, so be it.
3. Pretty please: don't require colons for shortcuts. They look like schemes
when they're not, are counter to opera and phoenix (mozilla) conventions,
and are painful to type. (I'm hoping that the next version of XBEL would be
supported by open source browsers (I think galeon and konqueror already do)
and include an element for the shortcut token, and that shortcut behaviors
would work *across* the browsers. The shortcut is part of Phoenix's
bookmark manager which is very convenient!)
