I though that we had more flexibility in defining URIs based on the scheme.
Section 3 says:
"The URI syntax is dependent upon the scheme. In general, absolute
URI are written as follows:
<scheme>:<scheme-specific-part>
An absolute URI contains the name of the scheme being used (<scheme>)
followed by a colon (":") and then a string (the <scheme-specific-
part>) whose interpretation depends on the scheme.
The URI syntax does not require that the scheme-specific-part have
any general structure or set of semantics which is common among all
URI."
Does a mailto URI fit the grammar given in 2396?
Jason.
