I can't find any argument in the bug report for why having a MIME type

stating so :-)
But you're right, it is more of a stretch. At least x-scheme-handler is
about applications opening stuff.
MIME types describe files which are to be opened by applications.
Schemes describe URLs to be opened by applications.
Although terminals are applications themselves, in the context of
opening file/URL with some chosen application they are merely a method
of launching that application. So, neither MIME type nor scheme fits here.
On my Debian testing available xsessions are described for display
managers by desktop entries in the '/usr/share/xsessions/' dir. Maybe
something similar could be used for terminals: put desktop entries
describing terminals into '/usr/share/x-terminal-emulators/' or something.
