Intent Tag Has Landed In Webkit

Because protocols are not actions and also what your describe provides no way for return data to be handled. Likewise for pulling in data in to your app.

Note though that this is something we also considering, we will be bringing in RPH and RCH into the intent declaration.

The intent tag is about the declaration of abilities that your app has so in your model this would also be possible.

Ok, how about using the message event to receive data from the app? Not only return values, imagine an app updating the browser as data changes like:

    <a href="wallst.com?ticker=AAPL" action="stocks" onmessage="update(event)">

Kind of server events attached to the message event of an actionable link. Everything scriptable.

You know, just throwing ideas to the wall to see if something sticks.

We've been doing href="mailto:[email protected]" for centuries and it has worked very well.

Good point about returning data.
