Not if the device is a tablet, or a phone running a browser that
supports it. Need support from a page/article or even a project? Hit
a button, and if the protocol is implemented, you're in the IRC
channel able to garnish that support instantly.
We probably misunderstood each other. Protocols are mentioned at the
beginning of a URL; having a protocol attribute on a <link> element
would therefore be redundant.

To illustrate:

  <link rel=chat protocol=irc href=irc://irc.freenode.com/whatwg>

Instead of:

  <link rel=chat href=irc://irc.freenode.com/whatwg>

Or a more fitting example of how it could be used:

  <a href="http://whatwg.org"; protocol="http">WHATWG</a>

But, what happens now?

  <a href="http://whatwg.org"; protocol="mailto">WHATWG</a>



Hilarious :-)
