The 'mailto' URI Scheme
RFC 6068, “The 'mailto' URI Scheme”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2010 by M. Duerst, L. Masinter, J. Zawinski. It obsoletes RFC 2368. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the format of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) to identify resources that are reached using Internet mail. It adds better internationalization and compatibility with Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs; RFC 3987) to the previous syntax of 'mailto' URIs (RFC 2368). [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
