How many users of imode on the list actually WANT phone numbers to be
hotlinked like this? I started coding a solution and stopped after I
started to look at it from the users point of view. *On an imode phone
every link is a "stop point"*, however briefly, as one scrolls down a
piece of text. From the users point of view that can be a pain. Hot
linking numbers is useful in many contexts, but is not something that
should be done willy nilly - particulary not by a third party gateway.
It really is one of those "just because you can do it doesn't mean you
should" things.
My vote as a potential user of (google was it?) is "DON'T DO IT!"... It
is better in theory than practice
