if it handles 9p: scheme, it better be 9p, not some dialect based on implementer's (mis)understanding of it. browser plugins, by virtue of what they plug into, have a potential to spread fast. it will not serve anyone if a popular derivation becomes a de facto standard for 9p.
While I'd generally be the first to argue such a point, I don't see where you see a problem. It should act exactly the same as file:, ftp:, http:, smb:, ... The URI format just describes the location of a resource. The resource should be handled exactly the same as any other resource. The only real problem I see here is that the protocol specification. It would be nice to handle unix domain sockets, since p9p uses them, but I think any other protocol would be superfluous, and should probably be part of the resource.
