you can add it, it works ... most software will add the mailto: on when
they see an email address, webmail, skype, irc clients do this, for example

good point, we are still waiting on what the final mime type of AS2.0,
turtle is supported right now as it is already a W3C REC

when AS2.0 goes to CR it's going to be easier to finalize this part, the
intention is to support JSON LD eventually

thanks for the pointer, that's a valid question, I suppose I could add it
if there is a need ... from memory I thought the value was "subject" ...
"resource" doesnt make too much sense to me form a linked data perspective,
because everything is a resource ... so is the resource a subject, an
object or a predicate?

it's not clear to me whether "resource" should automatically map to subject
from a linked data perspective
