Per the mailto RFC [1]: The "mailto" URL has unusual semantics because resolving such a URL does not cause an immediate interaction. Instead, the client creates a message to the designated address with the various header fields set as default. The user can edit the message, send this message unedited, or choose not to send the message. The operation of how any URL scheme is resolved is not mandated by the URL specifications. As such, I don't think any XProc implementation would support such a protocol scheme. We should consider a step definition for SMTP.
