What about integrating these few functions into org-contacts?  Most
users will use telephony functions in conjunction with a contact
database.  The recently applied patches from Feng are already steps into
this direction.  The next logical step would be to define some basic
rules about how to write phone numbers and to support links in the EMAIL
and PHONE properties like in the following example.

#+BEGIN_SRC org
* Surname, Name
  :PROPERTIES:
  :EMAIL:    mailto:foo@bar.com
  :PHONE:    [[phone:+49 351 4129535]]; [[phone:+49 176 6626196]]
  :END:
#+END_SRC

Moreover the definition of the phone link would allow to extend the
current functionality of MobileOrg by a phone call function.
