Just write:

ORGANIZER;X-ROLE=CHAIR:MAILTO:mrbig at host.com

Acually the parser doesnt check out conformance at such detail.

If you choose to be so picky at the parser level you are bound to get 
bad results. There are a *lot* of malformed files out there. If you can 
parse them, at least you can look at the result and decide not to use them.
