Bitcoin URL scheme whitelisted in HTML5
Exactly. Needs another layer of abstraction to handle competing crypto currencies. BTC was the first, but won't be the last.

Something analogous to the way magnet URIs are used as an extensible scheme for peer-to-peer filesharing links?

Right; perhaps it would be better to introduce a generic URI scheme for paying:
pay:?currency=btc&address=1BlaH&amount=1.0

Then you need some standardisation on what 'currency' is anyway, and if you use ISO 4217 you shut out Bitcoin.
