Project releated (sub)keys.  Not very common today but I hope in the
future this will be a standard practise.

I have always used BT to transfer contacts and calendar.  Between cell
phones and desktops.  In these cloudy times it might not be en vogue
anymore - don't know.

I agree that using an URL allows to switch to a different transport
protocol.  So, using good old Internet practice it is okay to first test
the code and then work on the specs.
