I think in that case it might be best to have a function in org-contacts
that "knows" that PHONE contains phone numbers, and that can parse them
out, and shoot them off to org-phone.

Vague thought: Make C-c C-c aware of PHONE properties so that it can
perform this magic.

Again, I am not an org-contacts user, so this may be a stupid question,
but how does org-contacts "know" when it has a contact?  I am looking at
the sample record you present above, and it looks just like an org-mode
header to me.  There is no marker, as far as I can tell, that would tell
org-mode that it is a contact record, instead of some other arbitrary
thing.  This seems odd to me.  Why isn't it something like

#+BEGIN_SRC org
* CONTACT Strey, Michael
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL:    mstrey@strey.biz foo@bar.com
:PHONE:    +493514129535 +491263213
:END:
#+END_SRC

by analogy to the way TODO flags a task?

At any rate, any function that could parse a :PHONE: property could
easily (funcall org-phone-function <phone-number>).

Cheers,
