For everyone like you, there's going to be someone who leaves it to the
defaults. Should they be punished for not changing a protocol name?

Unless EVERY html page you use ML with PHYSICALLY lives on your local hard
drive or on a mounted filesystem connected by an encrypted link, any script
kiddie with a packet sniffer can have your "magicallly immune" protocol
name.

If y'all are gonna argue, then at least use the correct terminology.
You're not changing a protocol; you're changing a URL scheme.

HTTP is a protocol.
http is a URL scheme.

SMTP and POP are protocols.
mailto is a URL scheme.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled argument.
