Correct.

'telephony/dial' is checked for by  
Horde_Core_Ui_VarRenderer_Html::_renderVarDisplay_phone while building  
the display for "phone" type form fields.

No. The problem is that Astral is not compatible with Horde 5 (or 4  
for that matter). It was written against Horde 3. It needs to be  
refactored to work with Horde 5 as there were massive changes to how  
the Apis are registered etc... starting in Horde 4.
