Primary goal of this milestone is to enable Firefox addon to provide custom network protocol implementation. This will not enable add-on to provide full [IPFS][], [Dat][], [SSB][] implementations (as that would for example require exposing UDP socket API to add-ons) but it would enable add-on to add associated protocol handler and possibly delegate actual networking to local node via [native messaging API][] or a through a public gateway. Unlike [current support of decentralized network protocols][] this will not redirect request but rather load them under specified URL and have content origin be set to `scheme://${hostname}`.
