A contact can be a channel of communication.  In the case of your 
drafts, it's a channel which can be associated with a URI.  If you 
find the header name inappropriate, you can invent another term for it.

The pres: URI provides a means to retrieve presence 
information.  It's indirectly a means of contact.
