The other thing would be in the prinicple of "going with what works now":
putting a telephone in an anchor tag like that would obviously mean it's
displayed as a valid, navigate-able link which would be confusing (and
possibly annoying?) for users who then might try to click on the link.
Maybe this point will be moot in 2 or 3 years if peoples PC are hooked into
their phones as a defacto standard, but I think if I was to visit a website
now and every telephone number was a hyperlink to a browser error message
I'd probably be a little fed up before long.
An explanation after the number or use of the title attribute might solve an
interim lack of support for calls from hyperlinks. I've done no testing
around tel specifically but I do know that Skype does accept the callto URI
scheme although RFC3966[1] and the previous RFC2806[2] state it as being
discarded.
