Which is simply saying that the reserved character has the same meaning as the data character in mailto because '@' is not allowed as data in the mailto syntax (i.e., it is only allowed to be the reserved delimiter between mailbox name and mailbox host). The fact that the generic syntax considers them to be two different URIs does not prevent the mailto scheme from declaring they are the same, since that is something scheme specs can do. ....Roy
