Call me cynical if you will, but is the current generation of web browser
writers really smart enough to handle quoted strings properly, i.e. to ignore
the equals sign and brackets inside quotes? what will happen when people forget
the quotes?
If said generation really IS that smart, I would have thought that using
another attribute (SCHEME) was a lot less effort.
But I come into the discussion late and ill-informed, so expect to be ignored.

p.s. I agree with Lee's suggestion of preferring "mailto:" in this particular
case. However, I'm not sure it will help with schemes for which no precedent
exists in HTML. Anyone for "issn:01-234-16791" ?
