So why not go completely abstract and support an URI field, like

  URI: <role> <URI> [optional]

Where <role> is a set of peviously defined words. This would also allow easy
extension later.

e.g.

  URI: abuse im:icq:1234567890
  URI: sales sip:sales@localhost
  URI: info http://www.myisp.net/info/
