from what i can tell it's gio that supports the standard... (not that i
know anything about gio it's just xdg will report a gio error for a non
existent name)

$ gio info computer:///
display name: Computer
name: /
type: directory
uri: computer:///
attributes:
  standard::type: 2
  standard::name: /
  standard::display-name: Computer
  standard::icon: computer, computer-symbolic
  standard::content-type: inode/directory
  standard::symbolic-icon: computer-symbolic, computer
  id::filesystem: computer:
  access::can-write: FALSE
  access::can-delete: FALSE
  access::can-trash: FALSE
  metadata::annotation:
  metadata::caja-icon-view-auto-layout: true
  metadata::caja-icon-view-tighter-layout: false
  metadata::nemo-icon-view-auto-layout: true

also seems to be a recent:///
Cannot seem to find any specification/standard list of others though :(

Respects
