           Summary: WKDataDetectorTypePhoneNumber breaks web usage.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: iOS 10

Enabling WKDataDetectorTypePhoneNumber in the configuration of a WKWebView incorrectly turns existing links into detected "Phone Numbers", breaking the functionality of the displayed web page.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create WKWebView with configuration that has WKDataDetectorTypePhoneNumber set as a dataDetectorType.
2. Navigate to www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?topic=56310.48402

Expected Results:
Forum page navigation should still work as in Safari on iOS.

(Safari on iOS can also correctly identify non-linked phone numbers without the false positives. For example, see directsurety.com)

Actual Results:
Page navigation is broken since the links have been incorrectly identified as phone numbers.

Tested on iPhone 7 iOS 10.1
