if the user installed skype and skype installed the URL handler, what is apple supposed to do? if this is being done via redirects, and the URL handler is different in the redirect, i guess they could pop-up a confirm dialog, but that would be very annoying if your web app used many different URL handlers like many content management systems do.

you're missing the point... EFFICIENCY RELATIVE TO "MORE COMPUTER" RELATIVE TO TIME.
