Visit <http://n2.nabble.com/Chandler-community-bug-fests-on-IRC-td1676806.html> for an example.

Now, testing:
<feed://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss> 
<webcal://schooltool.freeman-centre.ac.uk/calendar.ics>
<afp://foo.bar/path>
<smb://foo.bar/path>
<callto:perrin.redirectme.net>
<irc://irc.freenode.net/#diigo>

(That list echoed from <http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/some-types-of-url-prefix-not-hyper-linked-when-topics-messages-are-posted-9206>.)
