The text says what you use it for, but not how it was inserted in the Contact in the first place.

Both.

Sure :) 

But, it is a little unclear to me what target-param (if any), I would include, so I would like that to get soreted out first.

Based on the comments I get, the text seems to indicate that you shouldn't insert a Tel in a History-Info in the first place. Instead you should transform it to a SIP-URI before inserting it.

But, I can think of some text for that also, because it's related to the previous comments.

I think it occurs only once, but as long as there is a definition (or a reference to a definition) I don't mind if it's used.
