Phone numbers have a URI identifier of "tel" [1], useful for protocol handlers that understand VOIP or faxes. eg: <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">Bob Jonkman</span>, <a class="tel" href="tel:+1-416-555- 1212">+1-416-555-1212</a></span> This ought to be recognized as a phone number by speech readers both by the hCard class="tel" as well as the "tel" URI, and provides a link for your favorite VOIP software to act on. Of course, widespread adoption is not yet widespread... --Bob.
