I know there are various groups on the Internet, all wanting to encode the information of the world into their scheme. This is a neat microformat approach, but an alternative might be to use a telephony URI[1]. The number above might be represented instead as something like: <a href="tel:+1.415.555.1212">+1.415.555.1212</a> There are URI schemes for a variety of identifiable things. It may save effort on the microformat side of the fence to make use of these where available. Of course, the function of the scheme and the class may differ. While it is clear that I'm identify a telephone number in my href, it isn't clear what the telephone number means. Having a microformat that indicates whether the telephone is for home or business use and who it belongs to may be a more important focus. To possibly rub you guys up a little bit more of the wrong way, perhaps it is even worth reexamining the geo and addr microformats in favour of developing URI-based alternatives.
