Jeff,
RFC 1630 make pretty clear that a email address in either a "mailto:"
or "cid:" clause *is* a URI. It does not address whether a bare email address
would count (it seems that it doesn't fit the RFC definition, but does fit
some other I found by Goggle).
I could be convinced either way from a bare address (as it stand now,
maybe someone else has something to add). But a "mailto:" "mail:" or "cid:"
clause should (in my opinion) be looked up by the URI rules - they are URI,
not URL rules (though URLs are clearly the most common from of URIs).
I was surprised to see that from the RFC, even "Msg-Id:" clauses
are URIs.
