[uf-dev] Testcase clarification

[Bob Jonkman]

I'm pretty sure the modem:// and fax:// uri schemes have been 
deprecated.  tel:// is the only telephone uri scheme remaining, and 
call type (modem, fax) is left to be negotiated in-band by carrier 
recognition or out-of-band through SIP or similar.[1]

So, ignoring the TEL scheme in an hCard would be the correct behaviour, 
but an explicit TYPE indication should be preserved in the vCard.
