um, i think so. I'll have to think about what that exactly says
because i'm not sure that is valid in ALL cases. For instance:
<span class="tel">123.456.7890</span>

Is valid, but you could also have:
<span class="tel"><span class="type">home</span><span
class="value">123.456.7890</span></span>

TEL (and ADR to a lesser extent) have a structure of TYPE/VALUE, but
since TYPE is optional then value becomes optional when TYPE is not
present. So there is an instance where TEL would be a "leaf property"
in some cases, but not all.

But over all, i think you are on the right track on defining
when/where class="value" applies.
