`dispatcher' is a too technical term.  A more user-friendly term would be
`alternatives' like you can see on GNU/Linux in /etc/alternatives/ that
can be customized with such commands:

  update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
  update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser

Using similar names like `alternatives-define' and more specific
`www-browser-alternatives' or `browse-web-alternatives'
would be more familiar to the users of GNU/Linux.

IOW, you took the subject of http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-06/msg01427.html
too literally.  There is no word "dispatcher" anywhere in command and variables
proposed by Stefan in this message.
