------- Additional Comments from Mark Rowe (bdash) <mrowe at apple.com>
Why does Chrome::runJavaScriptRegisterProtocolHandler return a boolean?

This code won't even compile.  Navigator::registerProtocolHandler calls a
non-existent method named "runJavascripRegisterProtocolHandler".

NAVIGATOR_ABILITIES is an incredibly vague name for a define and doesn't sound
at all related to the function in question.  It's not clear to me why this is
#if'd at all given that the default behavior is to do nothing.

We also prefer that a full name is used in ChangeLog entries.
