Handing off seems pretty tricky:
1) How would feed urls be identified when you click a link? The .rss ones, maybe, but what about .xml?

As it seems, there's no MIME-Type for RSS-Feeds - they usually come as "text/xml" - too bad. The idea would be to implement a list of known MIME-Types which are openend directly after download (perhaps downloading them to a temporary directory) - this would make playing Realaudio-files a little bit easier.


2) How would the helper app be identified? From a URI scheme perspective, Camino *is* the correct helper app, since it's http, so how would it pick?

Okay, "helper app" was not the correct term here, sorry. AFAIK the feed://-"protocol" has been defined but is rarely used.


I found a discussion on that here: http://kalsey.com/2005/01/handling_rss_in_the_browser/
