I'm not sure why tel:// should be accepted in the API. As far as I see it, the API should be used to call real phone numbers. The only way I see tel:// being related to this API is if there is a tel:// link on a web page. Then, a user could click on it and somehow the system could open an app that would parse the link and do what should be done with the number. However, the API would only get the raw number. -- Mounir
