Re: [whatwg/url] mailto hostnames (#331)

Closing as per previous discussion mailto: parsing not special.

Recently a post-processing step was specified for how to extract useful information from data: URLs, [in the Fetch Standard](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#data-urls). It's done elsewhere because it's a higher-level concern; this standard is only about URL parsing, but it's the concern of software (e.g. browsers that fetch) to deal with whether the parsed URL is a useful format.

Hopefully that can serve as a model if you're interested in writing code or even a spec for how to parse mailto: URLs.
