As much as I like the name "payto:" I think "bitcoin:" makes more sense. Plus it's pretty much standardized at this point, see URI Scheme on the wiki.
Oh cool thanks, hadn't seen that page before. Glad to see it's been thought of anyway.

Sorry, I'm relatively new and excited, and the ideas are flowing... 
I was thinking about how a lot of people have their bitcoin address posted on the web as a piece of text and it made me think of the "mailto" links that are available in HTML.
Imagine if we could get Chrome (go Google!) or other browsers to accept the following as a valid link and launch your bitcoin client:
(Then of course you should hit a confirm button once your client presents the send window).
What would be involved in making this happen?
