I don't think that can be right at all.
Firstly, the word before the colon (not a double-colon as you typed),
is a URI scheme, not a protocol. The two do not map one-to-one.
Not even for http, necessarily.

Secondly, inventing new URI schemes is not a good idea as it decreases
interoperability.

Fine ,I'll start correcting every typo and instance of poor grammar that appears on this list.

What I was saying is that if you use a custom resolver you can specify a new scheme as well as override an old one. Whichever way it is done it's obviously going to decrease interoperability.
