I think rtsp is just rtsp. rtsp is a _protocol_, which could, in theory, carry all sorts of content. It depends on the browser, it might allow plugins to make themselves the default handler for a whole protocol. Or it might recognize the mime-type from the file extension, be it from a build-in list or from a user-definition, but not the protocol, and as a consequence feed the whole URL to the helper-application configured for that mime-type. The behaviour of Netscape 4, should it be the way you describe it and unchangably so would be quite braindead, but then - it's Netscape 4.
