This is the syntax that GnomeSword eats. GS asks to deploy itself in
GNOME's GConf system, if it finds that there is no sword:// handler. I
can click off the offered test page in FF and GS opens with a new tab on
the specified module+verse.
(As it happens, GnomeSword understands sword:// and bible://
equivalently, but I suspect we should do away with the latter.)

That occurred to me a long time ago, with that exact syntax, without
having implemented it. But it occurs to me that doing so would be very
close to a no-brainer. I might do it before GS 2.3.4 gets out the door,
unless Troy manages to get Sword 1.5.11 out the door tonight.

That's profoundly icky.

I have URLs like this in actual use...
sword://Josephus/%2FThe+Antiquities+of+the+Jews%2FBook+17%2FChapter+2%2FSection+4
...because embedded `/' makes me nervous and `+' is the URL space character.
