But they are different. Like http://www.xmpp.org/ is different than mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] And in most cases xmpp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] "won't work" (as not-knowing user may see it) like mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't work (or, at least, should not work). I think it is great we may use standard URI form for those two different uses of a JID (a user account and a user address). And please note, that news: URIs are used in a similar way -- "news://example.org"; is a news server, "news:example.org"; would be a newsgroup and "news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is a message-id. In most cases users don't need to see the URIs and application and web site developers should know what they are doing. Greets, Jacek
