To follow up on what Larry Masinter said ...
Why are you arguing this? I don't see what point you're trying to
make. Sure, they could be the same, they could be different. Why do
you care? There are reasons -- maybe not great ones -- for making them
different. But what's the reason for making them the same?
I think that we need to be able to apply a lot of variations on
the mailto: action. Now or eventually. The "Mailserver:" case
is a point in the interior of this region. Putting a point
solution in there that does not fit into a systematic solution
for the more general case will just cause trouble later.
That is why I am arguing for a systematic approach under the
umbrella of one scheme name. It leaves the path clear for more
growth in capability.
