Title: Metadata should use mailto: in ContactPerson email to strictly conform to spec

Are our email addresses in the ContactPerson element correct with regards to the standard?

From the SAML Metadata standard...
[Zero or More]
Zero or more elements containing mailto: URIs representing e-mail addresses belonging to the
contact person

A quick snapshot of what other federations do:

UK, SWITCHaai, Japan use mailto:f.bloggs@example.com

Incommon, AAF, DFN, Spanish(RedIRIS) use f.bloggs@example.com

Reference: rfc6068 the 'mailto' URI Schema
