Counterexample: Thunderbird linked it to ftp://ftp.example.com/ so
there's definitely software that does this.

I'd be against something like that in core (seems a little iffy to guess
a protocol based on the name), but you should be able to do it yourself
by filtering the autolinking functionality.
