Yes ;-)

Honestly, using the `tel:' syntax doesn't require to adopt the complete
RFC 3966.  Your syntax rules can be more strict than those of RFC 3966
and nontheless phone numbers in the resulting org files will be
interpretable by all other systems that are able to do sensible things
of the RFC 3966 syntax (in particular MobileOrg).

Moreover my filtering function addresses at least some aspects of RFC
3966 allowing phone numbers like

     [[tel:(0351) 412 95-35]]
     [[tel:+49 351/412-95-35]]
     [[tel:+493514129535]]
     [[tel:+49-351-41295-35]]
