I'm not sure about that.

It's not because it's mandatory that people implement it (TLS, TCP, SIPS, to 
name a few).
I think we need instead to explain it is necessary, and what doest it mean to 
various components (i.e., UACs, UASs, and Proxies).

For example:

- UACs MUST support Tel URIs (and use whatever proxy they have 
  available to route requests to Tel URIs). Example, recurse on 302.

- UAs (not sure there are many problems here).

- Proxies. Need to be able to route on Tel URI. If they don't 
  recurse, need to pass 302 with Tel Contact. If they recurse, need
  to act on it.

Also, we need to warn people on improper usages of Tel URI (stupid
UA pet tricks). For example, don't use Tel URIs in Contacts other than 3XX.

In other words, this is not just as simple adding "must support
Tel URI" in RFC 3261.
