The definition of 'protoscience' given by different people seems to vary a lot. You seem to be defining it as "An idea that has not yet been rigorously tested but is worth pursuing." This definition is something most people would just call "science". The wiki article on protoscience has several more definitions for it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protoscience
You are quite right about the definition I'm using for this post/thread. If I knew of a better word, I'd have used that, instead.
