draft-ietf-impp-im-03.txt uses RFC 822 ABNF (#mailbox).
I wondered about this too, but discovered that the whole syntax was imported from the mailto: spec, which was written in 822 ABNF; trying to respecify this in newer ABNF seems like an invitation to divergence.

(that said, although I'm not objecting, I get a headache when having an URL scheme that can specify additional headers being used in addressing fields of a message; what would be the semantics of an IM message like this:

To: im:harald@alvestrand.no;subject="This is a problem"
Subject: Problem? What problem?
