Thanks, will do.

I don't understand what should the NEWS entry about org-protocol
support say, in addition to what it already says, to cover these
factoids. The NEWS entry is about the emacsclient.desktop file and
its contribution to automatic support of org-protocol; isn't what you
say above part of that automatic support?
