Of course, it would have helped if I'd included the address of the
web site where the LSID protocol handler is available (duh!). The
address is http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/lsid/ .

I've put together a very simple extension that enables Mozilla and
Firefox to handle the "lsidres" protocol used in IBM's Launchpad to
resolve LSIDs. The extension redirects the browser to the
http://lsid.biopathways.org LSID resolver. Once the extension is
installed, links such as
lsidres://urn:lsid:ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.lsid.biopathways.org:pubmed:12441807
become clickable.
This is a bit primitive compared to Launchpad, but means that people
who don't use Internet Explorer 6 on Windows can have clickable
LSIDs. The extension has been tested (I use that term loosely) on
Windows 2000, Mac OS X, and Red Hat 8, with Firefox 0.9.2 - 1.0.
