I too think tel: support is critical.

To refine the above, without tel: it is generally impossible to 302 a  
caller to a PSTN node without also specifying a route for reaching  
that node.

If one were to redirect to sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];user=phone, one might  
still reach the correct telephone, but one would be constrained to do  
so by using the resources at the specified domain, which might or  
might not present an authorization problem.

The only way we have to redirect a caller to a PST node that is to be  
reached by the caller's best available means is to use a tel: URI.
