As Bill Cheeseman mentioned, the URL Protocol Messaging is for easily
transferring script snippets and examples from web pages to the Script
Editor.
Although formatted examples can be displayed in web pages, they are
often copied with characters and spaces missing making it necessary and
difficult to debug the script before successfully compiling. URL
Protocol Messaging will solve this problem and greatly improve the
ability to share scripts and to create inter-active AppleScript
instructional materials.
Regarding security: under NO conditions will a script execute
automatically. There is no "RUN" action parameter and the Script Editor
will not respond to one. The available actions are: NEW, INSERT, and
APPEND.
URL Protocol Messaging is used throughout Mac OS X by various Apple
services and applications. The new Script Editor will be another Apple
application that takes advantage on this architecture. Examples of
others are here:

Regarding using third-party script editors with this protocol:
We are examining this issue to provide a correct efficient method for
setting a third-party app to be the target of the URL protocol.
Thank you for your continued support of AppleScript!
Sal
