= Notes =
* Given that when we ship M8, the URL in question will be accessible from M8, but will simply fail to resolve or 404 (though I suppose we could easily enough put up a static web page), I'd argue that spending a week on testing this isn't really worth it, since the entire purpose here is simply to test Mozilla.  I'd argue that once it seems to be working and we're convincedthere's no obvious huge security holes, we should just go live.  --dmose
= Presence in the Beta Review Guide =
It's been suggested that we highlight web-based protocol handling in the beta review guide.  For this, I think we want to do at least the following things:
* warn IT that traffic might go up which could cause scaling issues
* link to documentation (current MDC page, WhatWG page)
* ping evang re web-based protocol handler tutorial pages
