Writing numbers in the format: `###-####` causes Safari on iOS to treat them as a phone link (tel:). This format is typically also used for year ranges, e.g. 900-1200.

Functionality is described further here: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/PhoneLinks/PhoneLinks.html

Phone numbers are usually written with a hyphen ("-", 0x2D). Whereas, year ranges are typically written with en-dash ("–", 0x2013). Automatic phone linking shouldn't occur for the en-dash.

This functionality is not part of WebKit (other than enabling the ability for another framework to perform the processing). Please report this issue to Apple via <https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/>.
