something like isRegistered().  This would allow sites to conditionalize
requests for the protocol handler.  This is important to me because I would
also like to experiment (after that point) with requiring a user gesture for
this request (much like browsers typically require user gestures for
window.open()), so sites cannot hammer the user with requests outside of
some sort of interaction-based workflow.
