I assume that this refers to the mailto: URI.
If so, this should be clarified. Also, URI scheme definitions are
standards track, not informational. Therefore, I suggest:

* Mailto URI scheme (standards track)

There is also the question of whether to update the current(ly being
worked on, IETF last call completed) mailto: URI scheme spec, or to
define a new scheme. An earlier discussion (without much involvement
from my side) seems to have to come to the conclusion that a new scheme
is better. However, I guess we should re-examine this based on the fact
that fallback alternatives inside email addresses seem to going to be
dropped.

Either way, I'm glad to volunteer as the editor of the relevant document.

Regards,   Martin.
