Yes ;-) Honestly, using the `tel:' syntax doesn't require to adopt the complete RFC 3966. Your syntax rules can be more strict than those of RFC 3966 and nontheless phone numbers in the resulting org files will be interpretable by all other systems that are able to do sensible things of the RFC 3966 syntax (in particular MobileOrg). Moreover my filtering function addresses at least some aspects of RFC 3966 allowing phone numbers like [[tel:(0351) 412 95-35]] [[tel:+49 351/412-95-35]] [[tel:+493514129535]] [[tel:+49-351-41295-35]] Best regards -- Michael Strey www.strey.biz
