The correct URI scheme for giving email addresses is 'mailto' scheme.
http://www.iana.org/list-archives/register-uri/msg00004.html

If you use it wrong, as in the example, or not use at all, you rely on
guessing the rest from the context.
And guessing, by its nature, is error prone. Especially when you lack
metadata or knowledge (like Autn Tillie).
You simply cannot expect correct results not giving all required data
(or giving it wrong).

BTW: Did we finally agree on the 'xmpp' URI scheme?
