file is also an URL protocol, although you're correct that mailto is not. I don't think anyone actually types mailto: addresses into the address bar on a browser, though (nor can I think of any other URIs that someone might manually type, except for things like about:config that are browser-specific).

There's no such thing as "URL protocol".

No, it is not. It [URL] contains one though.

From [1] which is one of best explanation I've came across:

"The difference between a URI and a URL is that a URI can be just a name by itself, or a name [*what* - ML] with a *protocol* that tells you *how* to reach it - which is a URL."
