Some of these are fairly common, but not really used much any more.
Others I'm not too certain, but here's the breakdown I've been around
[corrections not only welcome but requested]
> snews:        secure NNTP
> newsrc:       
> rlogin:       UNIX rlogin protocol [handled by the telnet handler off
rundll]
> wais:         Wide Area Information Service [predecessor to the search
engine and friends, really popular during the gopher heyday]
> url:          same as http, I believe
> ldaps://      secure LDAP
> mic://
> outday://

Officially [at least according to the w3c], the uri is supposed to be
definable, and some systems still use outdated uris for their
sites...some I'd imagine are for backwards compatibility
