Well do you want the bad news or the bad news?

Chrome won't launch TEL: etc from and iframe regardless and the 
is[Protocol|content]handlerRegistered looks design only for people 
wanting to install their specific protocol handler. That is, it requires 
a URL and their maybe a choice of several handlers servicing a URL protocol.

So back to giving up :-)

BTW if you click a TEL: anchor on IE desktop you get the "not supported" 
page. Press BACK then click again and it just spins :-(
