encodeURI does _NOT_ hexify slahses! Please use
encodeURIComponent().

emacsclient compresses double and tripple slashes, that's why. Double
slashes in the selection or title would not survive a call to
emacsclient otherwise.

The hand full of small functions, that make up the `extra
infrastructure', may be changed in the future, without affecting the
handlers we use.

You are not an Org-user, are you?

Only one protocol has to be registered to use an arbitrary number of
sub-protocols to do anything you want.

Before, we had the remember and bookmark stuff in org-mode/contrib,
which is now included in org-protocol.el. For each of those, a protocol
had to be registered with every browser (MS is easier here), and a shell
script in different flavours was needed (Bash/DOS/...).

Now we can use _one_ protocol and external scripts are not needed
anymore.

org-protocol.el is not loaded automatically with Org-mode. So no one has
to use or configure it.


org-protocol/emacsclient doesn't look like the best way to do that
stuff, but what `infrastructure' does emacs provide?
