Note that the consequence of doing so is that any malicious web site will be able to launch your application and attempt to exploit the host by crafting URL parameters. After this issue was publicized, Apple patched OSX to only invoke URL handlers after the application was explicitly launched by user once to guard against handlers in just-downloaded DMGs.

Actually Mac OS X (as of 10.3 something) displays a dialog asking if you want to run the application in this situation. If you say yes then Mac OS X "trusts" the application and wont ask again in the future.
