This wouldn't be a protocol.. it would be a scheme.

AKA

rss:http://server.com/rss.xml

or

rss:magnet:HASH

or

rss:freenet:

Protocol transaction would be handled by a protocol.  This is just like the
view-source: or mailto: scheme

HTTP would be the transport protocol.

The 'prepend a scheme' thing is somewhat of a hack ... If people use
application/rss+xml media type then it wouldn't be necessary (but no one does).

Criticizing an Open Source project for their level of progress is akin to
criticizing someone else for not giving enough to charity, while giving none
yourself.
