I think in his example, "email:" is just text on the page, not part of a URI. That should be enough context for a human reading it. But you're right, if the page contained a URI (such as inside of an <a/> element), then you would use "mailto:"; for email addresses. > BTW: Did we finally agree on the 'xmpp' URI scheme? There is also the 'im' URI, which I'm fond of because it is both intuitive and incredibly pompous. -Justin _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev
