Thanks, Mario.

Your documentation refers to the new-style links, but the examples still
use the old style I think? My javascript is very basic, but from some
experimenting here, I think the old style links are what you've used:

    javascript:location.href='org-protocol://sub-protocol://'+
          encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'/'+
          encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'/'+
          encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())

whereas the new-style key-value links would be:

    javascript:location.href='org-protocol://sub-protocol?url='+
          encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+
          encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&selection='+
          encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())

(I'm not actually sure what the name corresponding to `getSelection()`
is)

This is based on the following link style for store-link, which works
for me with Firefox 45.9 and Org 9.0 on Emacs 26.0.50:

    
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://store-link?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)

Also, I think your example for store-link should include the
document.title element?

    
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://store-link://'+encodeURIComponent(location.href)

It's true that old style links are still supported, but if they produce
a warning error when you use them, it would make sense to suggest the
new style syntax as the default for use by us newbies.

Best,

Tyler
