For me it may be a reason to not enable to enable "mid:" links by 
default, but I am still considering `browse-url' as the proper handler.

Code to determine handler is platform-specific, e.g. for Linux

xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/mid
xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler mid

The latter actually calls the former. I would avoid both variants during 
load time.

If you get browser fallback then you are advanced enough user to avoid a 
DE. Gnome shows application selection dialog, KDE throws an error window.
