Sounds interesting, Brian. Reading your post reminded me of a
discussion earlier this year. I searched and found the thread I
remembered. It talks about individually implemented Sword protocols.<br>
<br>
I was going to put a link to the thread in the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.crosswire.org/pipermail/sword-devel/">sword-devel
Archives</a> but I found the March 2007 archive incomplete.<br>
<b>"Archived on:</b> <i>Mon Mar 12 13:42:02 MST 2007</i>" so
everything after that isn't available.<br>
<br>
If you still have them locally, look for the subject "Sword URL" on
3/13/2007. It was an off shoot of the subject "dynamic versification"<br>
<br>
Specifically it mentions these implementations.<br>
MacSword - sword://<br>
"MacSword has installed a protocol handler into the Safari web browser
so that the sword:// urls are passed off to MacSword, starting it if it
is not running, rather than displaying them in the browser. (It doesn't
work very well and I can get it to crash MacSword)"<br>
<br>
JSword - bible://<br>
"With JSword, I have played with embedding IE and FireFox as the
display engine for BibleDesktop."<br>
<br>
GnomeSword - sword://<br>
"GS understands "sword://ModuleName/KeyIntoThatModule" where the key is
obviously a verse reference for Bibles and commentaries, but just as
easily is a treekey for genbooks and lexdicts."<br>
<br>
Hope this is helpful.<br>

There's also a KDE kioslave which implements sword:// in Konqueror.<br>
