Since we are already able to do such associations I like your idea of
mapping a certain protocol to a mime type.
The corresponding changes in KRun should be trivial, the question/problem
is IMHO more like: Where do we configure this mapping? kio.kfg and
mimelnk?

Or are there any other ideas/suggestions of how to handle such "slaveless"
protocols?
