There is an RFC for mailto URLs:

    The mailto URL scheme
    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2368.txt

| Status of this Memo
| 
|    This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
|    Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for

| Abstract
| 
|    This document defines the format of Uniform Resource Locators (URL)
|    for designating electronic mail addresses. It is one of a suite of
|    documents which replace RFC 1738, 'Uniform Resource Locators', and
|    RFC 1808, 'Relative Uniform Resource Locators'. The syntax of
|    'mailto' URLs from RFC 1738 is extended to allow creation of more RFC
|    822 messages by allowing the URL to express additional header and
|    body fields.
