    No, I am very much against this.
    
    The whole point of "use the right KDE app" is to use the right KDE app, not 
to fire up kfmclient_html for everything including text files, images, calligra 
documents etc.
    The "html" suffix is especially wrong since it would try to use khtmlpart 
or webkitpart for all of this (explicit mimetype on the command-line).
    At least using kde-open would work for all mimetypes, but this is slower 
(one more intermediate process) than letting the calling app use KRun directly.
    
    I know that gnome saves the webbrowser as x-scheme-handler/http, but I have 
always considered this a mistake (and we discussed it at length on the xdg 
list, so the status quo will remain).
    
    One solution would be to keep this code (with kde-open) but then special 
case "if the http scheme handler is kde-open then use KRun directly" in the kio 
code that looks up x-scheme-handler stuff (grep says: KRun and 
DesktopExecParser).
