        My suggestion would be to replace the (cond …) form in
        eww-render with something as flexible as:

   (let ((try-render (run-hook-with-args-until-success
                      eww-render-hook buffer url headers)))
     (if try-render
         (with-current-buffer try-render
           (when (derived-mode-p 'eww-mode)
             (plist-put eww-data :url url)
             (eww-update-header-line-format)
             (setq eww-history-position 0)
             (run-hooks 'eww-after-render-hook)))
       (error "No handler for Content-Type: %s (%s)"
              (car content-type) url)))

        Where eww-render-hook is a customizable hook with the default
        value chosen so to imitate the current behavior.

        (Also, I’d like to suggest replacing the hard-coded input
        handling in the ‘eww’ command proper with a similar
        eww-input-hook, so to be able to add support for urn:ietf:,
        ‘!whatever’, etc.)
