The easiest solution is sending a "callto:" URL in a jabber:iq:oob packet. This is already done by several clients (RhymBox, Rival and TipicIM ... maybe others that I do not know of).
Don't reinvent more wheels than you have to.

My two cents on voice over IP.

I think it is not worth the effort to integrate voice capabilities directly
into Jabber. There are a number of open source IP telephony efforts already
underway. A better use of time is to figure out how to link to these
services within Jabber clients.

The issues associated with voice over IP are not trivial because of the
quality of service requirements for good voice communication. You must deal
with: echo cancellation, latency due to sound subsystem in the PC, latency
due to vocoders, latency due to network, dealing with competition from
bursty network traffic, etc. Even with all of the work that has been done
for the past five years, VoIP is still not completely reliable.
