How about supporting the file://[/] syntax - for local files displayed in a Web browser? This would let us allow to use Gvim as an editor for e.g. Firefox out of the box (right now I'm using a wrapper program for this purpose).

You can already do so. You can use autocommands.
Read this minimal code to get an idea:

I'm using it to view git diff, ...

The important lines are:

augroup VIM_PLUGIN_VIEWS
autocmd BufReadCmd vim_view_*://* call views#FillContents()
augroup end

Well known plugins like netrw also use this.
