How to disable phone number linking in Mobile Safari?

Solution
This seems to be the right thing to do, according to the Safari HTML Reference:
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
If you disable this but still want telephone links, you can still use the "tel" URI scheme.
Here is the relevant page at Apple's Developer Library.
Problem
Safari on iPhone automatically creates links for strings of digits that appear to the telephone numbers. I am writing a web page containing an IP address, and Safari is turning that into a phone number link. Is it possible to disable this behavior for a whole page or an element on a page?
