I think protocol handler should allow another parameter that is true/false. This would allow a temporary register that would only affect the page it was called from, and only during the lifetime of the page. Also, as a security concern, you wouldn't be able to override known handlers. All other security concerns should be addressed with the exception that if its all temporary, and same domain policy is in effect, that it would not require the user to approve of it.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Rationale: What would the use case be? Surely if it's only for the current page, you could just rewrite the links manually to point to the handler.
