This is what I was saying. It is noble, but utopic (Yeah, you put it better
in words).

But now I realized: UA handling of type=tel is just a possibility, not a
mandatory feature. Thus, I think even it is documented in somewhere in HTML
5 spec, it won't be used/implemented at all due to all the drawbacks we were
discussing about in this thread.
