No need for custom url formats. Keep it really simple: Use a <link rel="ssh"> and rely on browsers to prompt us to "log in with ssh". IF there's no public key, the browser could offer to run ssh-keygen for the user and save the results in the user's keychain. If we use switcher[1], we can even put ssh and https on the same hostname and on the same point. This would be a recommended configuration since it would get through most proxies.
