Would enable JS to detect if a specific protocol had been installed by an
add-on. 

Eg, test to see if link "stanza://foo.com/foo.epub" will be handled.

Would allow user interface of "I see that you need to install Stanza. Click
here to download"

Thanks,
Larry

ps. One idea is to support the protocolLong property on <a> elements. Would
return either a string about the protocol or an error return. protocolLong is
an IE extension.
