If puted in the bitcoin client, the "bitcoin://" is optional (? and can also be replaced by http ?) since from the context you already expect an address or an url that will give you the address. In the browser: bitcoin://address bitcoin://rest_of_url In the bitcoin client: address rest_of_url bitcoin://address bitcoin://rest_of_url http://rest_of_url ?? Maybe in the bitcoin client you can put any site and the client downloads the web to look for occurrences of "bitcoin://" (? or just valid addresses ?) in it. It caches and shows them to you to decide what to do with each one. I have used other programs (jdownloader) that read the clipboard looking for patterns in links and is very convenient. Maybe then parameters for the client can be added to this. bitcoin://address?amount=10.53 bitcoin://rest_of_url?amount=10.53&green_address=r bitcoin://rest_of_url?amount=10.53&green_address=r&green_address_list=address1,address2,address3 Whatever the community have planned for bitcoin URIs.
