This is just the way the "base" vCard and iCalendar specs use that 
property. To maintain one-to-one mapping between the XML and "base" 
representations we need to stick with that.

> vCard EMAIL is text, iCal is a mailto URI

There is no EMAIL property in iCalendar. Calendar user addresses in 
iCalendar are defined to be a URI - often those are mailto:, but they are 
not limited to that. I guess you could argue that EMAIL in vCard should be 
a URI, but that would be a big change.

The current icalendar-in-xml spec defines date/date-time values as "text" - 
i.e. the 8601 strings used in iCalendar.
