I think web browsers should give users a way to register apps to handle displaying certain schema types.

E.g. if I open an ActivityStream URL, the browser should load my preferred client in the same way that clicking a PDF in my filesystem will open up my PDF viewer.

Users would then be able to bring their own interfaces to data instead of relying on some closed source proprietary app interface.

Also opens the door to mixing data

@mauve this is also secretly my vision, but I avoid using the word RDF because it scares away anyone who doesn't already believe in RDF

@quinn Yeah, the aesthetics and academic/corpo culture around RDF makes it pretty hard to be excited. :P

I think it can be made palatable with a few rad people making something obviously useful with it.
