IMO it's kindof ugly to abuse URIs for communication. Stdio pipes are pretty
universally supported, why not just use those?
On the other hand, no matter how the plugin is implemented, it's still a
security risk, and requires installation (which the user might not have access
for). It would be best if the hardware protocol were standardised, so the user
doesn't need a plugin of *any* sort... I notice some hardware wallets have
begun to implement (or reuse) Trezor's interface, so that would seem a good
place to start?
