Hi Sacha,

Thanks for your patch.

I think that the original format is an ad-hoc manipulation of the url
format which tries to pack two PROTOCOL:// sequences into one string.
Rather than adding a bogus port which just doubles down on this, a
better solution IMO would be to make org-protocol links valid urls in
another way, using the query string format:

org-protocol://store-link?url=3D[...]&title=3D[...]

This corresponds better to the url format: the protocol is org-protocol,
which determines emacs shall handle this link.  The location is
store-link, which indicates a handler function which is an element of
=E2=80=98org-protocol-protocol-alist=E2=80=99, and the query string gives t=
he arguments
to this function.

Does that make sense?
