Hi Julian,

Thank-you for your views.

Are you suggesting that we instead introduce a new link relation
(perhaps "contact") with tel:/mailto: types for specifying these parameters?

This would involve spec modification. Not sure how developers or
browser vendors take to it.

Why would it involve a spec modification?

Currently the link types defined by the specification are: 
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#linkTypes

Please correct me if I am wrong but I suspect introducing a new rel type would 
involve modifying the spec as well.

No. There's a Wiki for it.

Adding new meta extensions however would not have any such overhead as far as I 
know.


Was looking for a simpler solution that's quickly implementable.

Why is <meta> any simpler than <link>???
