With the added advantage of being supported by hCard:

        <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-parsing#tel_property>


However, according to my test case:

        <http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/club/hotline.htm>

        <p class="vcard">
        The <span class="fn org">West Midland Bird Club telephone
        hotline</span>,
        <a class="red tel" href="tel:+441283791171">01283 791171</a>,
        [...]</p>

it's not yet detected by:

        Operator (I've notified Mike Kaply)

        Almost Universal Microformat Parser

        Tails

        Tails export

It is supported by:

        X2V
