Hello Matthew, Many thanks for the catch. That some uri scheme gets used somewhere doesn't mean it's not obsolete. One core goal of uris is to have a single format for a single functionality. Having two different schemes for one and the same thing is a bad idea. 'tel:' is standards track (RFC 2806). I have difficulties understanding where VoiceXML got the 'phone:' thing from. I have informed the Voice Browser WG of the problem. For some background, now history, on why it is tel and not phone, please see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/1998AprJun/0029.html. Regards, Martin.
