I came here to say the same thing. Also, Google and Mozilla are experimenting with making such functionality available to webapps as Web Intents / Web Activities http://webintents.org/ http://mozillalabs.com/blog/2011/07/web-apps-update-experiments-in-web-activities-app-discovery/
I hope Microsoft will join the effort rather than making a separate system.
