Skype taking over urls

Question

We have some issues in our application with skype taking over some of our urls, replacing them with a skype plug in that enables you to start calls. Looks like skype thinks they are phone numbers. I was wondering if there are some way to mark our urls such that skype doesn't think they are phone numbers?

Its described here http://www.skype.com/help/guides/ie_addon/, but no option for disabling this functionality in the html... Any suggestions? Would like to add an attribute to our anchor tags to tell skyp to stay away.

Try:

<meta name="SKYPE_TOOLBAR" content="SKYPE_TOOLBAR_PARSER_COMPATIBLE" />

within your head element.
