This is implied. Indeed, you can put information into Emacs by many other means, including keyword input or command line invocation. Protocol is particularly useful when used via bookmarklets in browsers or when you want to limit information transfer between browser and Emacs - protocols are a subject of security policy and users might only allow the protocol types that are known to process date in a safe way, without danger of running arbitrary Elisp. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
