"Applications may, optionally, parse and display IDN handles as Unicode." This really needs to be amended, as this is really bad advice for protocol documentation in 2026. It should strongly encourage full support for the worlds languages just like a web browser. atproto.com/specs/handle

New Custom Handlers component for Chrome – make everything intensely
The HTML Standard section on Custom Handlers describes the procedure to register custom protocol handlers for URLs with specific schemes. When a URL is followed, the protocol dictates which part of the system handles it by consulting registries. In some cases, handlers may fall to the OS level and and launch a desktop application (eg. mailto:// may launch a native application) or, the browser may redirect the request to a different HTTP(S) URL (eg. mailto:// can go to gmail).
A plea: a convention for <input name="handle">
As someone who uses my phone more than maybe advisable, I end up typing in jauntwk.bsky.socialmuch more than I want to to log into neat atproto apps. Every now and then the browser can auto-complete for me, but it feels too rare! This post is a plea for help from the atproto ecosystem, to please try to make this better. It comes down to what name the input element has: that’s what the browser usually uses for autocomplete. I would love to have a convention/standard for what name to use for the <...

Protocol Handler Registration via Browser Extensions – make everything intensely
Custom URL schemes have traditionally served as an integration bridge between the browser and external capabilities. Schemes such as mailto: and tel: allow navigation to trigger actions beyond ordinary HTTP resource retrieval. The HTML Standard formalizes this mechanism through the Custom Scheme Handlers API, which enables websites to register themselves as handlers for specific URL schemes.

i'm seeing an unfortunate trend of atmosphere apps abandoning/forgetting the convention of including key protocol identifiers or URI components in their URL paths (rkey, handle, etc), making it impossible to easily locate/lookup the underlying protocol record makes adding @aturi.to support hard
btw, these new domain endings should be of much greater interest to the @bsky.app (atproto) community than your average internet jane/joe because of the incoming flood of expressive @handle.tld options
