Would it be a legal OpenURL to use any of those in an OpenURL? They 
aren't approved for OpenURL use, right?

But if I have to do something non-standard with OpenURL, might as well 
use a non-OpenURL standard, sure.

In general, the lack of easy extensibility of OpenURL is a flaw that 
hopefully we will learn from in subsequent standards.
