Allow commas in tel URIs

At least here in the U.S., dialing a comma in a phone number indicates a puase of a few seconds. As a result, often video conference call-in numbers will include a comma in the dial-in number before the passcode to save the caller from having to dial in the passcode separately.
However, the current implementation of the tel URIScheme strips out everything other than numbers, x, and a leading +. Thus:
<a href="tel:+12029910477,,32288696#">+1 202-991-0477,,32288696#</a>
is formatted to
<a href="tel:+1202991047732288696#">+1 202-991-0477,,32288696#</a>
which results in a wrong number dialed.
Does it make sense to allow commas in numbers? And/or can someone advise on how to override that regex?
