Ok - it's just a namespace indicator. I still think they shouldn't be
called a URL, or look like one.
Was there a formal proposal for this posted? If so, could you provide
a pointer to it? If not, then there are more questions.

Nope - mailto: specifies an object (a maildrop address), and a
protocol (usually SMTP). More importantly, if I issue the command
"lynx mailto:craig@hubley.com" lynx will send mail to you.
What should happen if I issue the command "lynx linkas:html3/next" ?

The issue is avoiding things that will lead to user errors.
