My question was not so much if you can resolve handles via bindings other than HTTP (since that's one of the selling points of handles) as it was do people actually use this in the real world? Well, the short answer to that question is yes. I think the discussion veered out of the zone of my understanding the point of it. The original question related to whether a journal should register Crossref doi's, and the short answer to that, as far as I'm concerned, is an emphatic yes.
