Thanks.

It is proposed to be registered "for windows and mac webbrowsers" 
(protocol helpers are not registered in the web browser but OS-wide 
so that a URI clicked in *any* application is forwarded to the helper 
app).

The example given:

hop://login.mygrid.org:8002/my%region/12/34/56

has a slash between host and region. This is the regular syntax for 
an URI, as in

http://www.giss.tv:8000/auth.xsl

Unfortunately, this is incompatible with Imprudence and older viewers:

secondlife://hg.osgrid.org:80:Samsara/  -> works
secondlife://hg.osgrid.org:80/Samsara/  -> don't (region name is 
ignored and you fall back to Welcome Station)

Other example?

secondlife://hypergrid.org:8002:Freebies/ -> ok
secondlife://hypergrid.org:8002/Freebies/ -> falls back to default region


So, even supposing I replace manually 'secondlife' with 'hop' in the 
protocol helpers, that will not work with old browsers.
