KDE would require changes anyway. Two reasons that come to mind already:
1) KDE 4 moved the files from /usr/share/services to /usr/share/kde4/services
to avoid clashing with the KDE 3 settings
2) the same .protocol files store KIO-related information, like which ioslave
to launch for doing data transfers and whether the protocol/implementation
supports certain features (server-side moves, hard linking, etc.)
