I don't think you understood me correctly.  I'm talking about an
image in a web page whose source is specified as a tel URL.  The tag
<img src="mailto:..."> in a page causes IE to run the chosen mail
composer when the page loads.  I'm wondering whether any i-mode
browsers would do a similar thing with <img src="tel:119">.

So I'm wondering, why is it only being announced now?
