Hi everybody, just thought I=92d throw my opinion in here. The URI scheme is a nice idea, but this ignores the fact that hardware = wallet vendors do most of the work on talking between the = computer/mobile and the wallet on a lower level of communication. In the = case of BitLox, the base protocol is Google=92s ProtoBuf. The commands = and transaction data is in a =93schema=94 which is then encoded in = different methods accessible via ProtoBuf (depending on the data being = sent). The advantages of this protocol is that it can be implemented on = a wide variety of platforms. (but that=92s a whole 'nother discussion) The URI would be handled waaaaay up in the specific application (such as = the mytrezor wallet software or the various standalone wallets) - = nowhere near the actual hardware communications layer.
