They weren't dismissed out of hand -- they were considered and rejected because they are unsupported by the text that appears in the specification. That has no bearing on the status of the mailto specification. If you had been reading the uri mailing list, you would know that draft 07 was created to resolve the editorial issues identified in the IESG last call of draft 06 so that the IESG would have a clean document to review on October 13 and subsequently approve for publication as a Full Standard on October 18. Note that all of those dates are in the past -- the document is already in the RFC editor's queue as of 2004/10/19. Likewise, you should know that all standards-track specifications must be revised, obsoleted, or moved to historical within a reasonable time after their dependencies have progressed on the standards-track. The mailto specification will be revised, with or without the original authors, and you should address your comments to that effort when it takes place. ....Roy
