Newsticker just follows the Emacs standard ;) It calls `browse-url' which uses `browse-url-browser-function' which, if undefined, defaults to `browse-url-default-browser` which attempts to find a browser. You should change `browse-url-browser-function'. Then again, one might teach browse-url-default-browser to follow the standard you are referring to.
