[uf-dev] impact of new vCard on hCard

Wed Jun 25 13:13:47 PDT 2008

I noticed that the latest vCard draft specification [1] requires the 
content of the TEL property to be of type URI with tel scheme.
Operator supports this and hCard allows it, but if I understand 
correctly, that would mean that an hCard compliant with this new spec 
would require the phone number to always be represented with an HTML anchor:
<a class="tel" href="tel:+14154075856">+1 (415) 407 5856</a>
Thoughts? should I add this to hCard issues on the wiki?

Excerpt:
7.4.1. TEL
 Purpose: To specify the telephone number for telephony communication
 with the object the vCard represents.
 Value type: A single URI value. It is expected that the URI scheme
 will be "tel", as specified in [RFC3966], but other schemes MAY be
 used.
