I am using linphone too, where that just works to append the
sanitized telephone number at the end. But I can imagine that other
dial programs may have different calling conventions. Also I may feel a
bit safer by quoting the telephone number, For example:

  linephone -c 'sip:%n'

Maybe in the long run (I have no urge here, works for me now).
You/we/someone could make this whole thing more generic, handling
different kinds of communication protocols (I made another one for
xmpp: meanwhile).

tel: urls are somewhat simple https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3966.txt
(still surprisingly more syntax than just a number) but when you look
at sip: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261#section-19.1 things get way
more complicated.
