Adding a DataDetectorEnabled Setting
Regarding alunny's pull request for iOS:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-ios/pull/56
The idea here is that users can set a flag in their Cordova.plist file to
disable auto-linkification of emails and telephone numbers. You can do this
already using meta tags:
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
<meta name="format-detection" content="email=no">
Andrew's heard reports of the meta tags not working, but cannot reproduce
this failure. Could be user-error? EIther way, thought it would be worth at
least mentioning on the mailing-list.
My only concern is that users may set this property and not include the
meta tags in their app, and then have something that works on iOS and not
other platforms. OTOH, it maps directly onto a UIWebView property, so seems
reasonable to expose.

I don't see anything on
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html that
looks equivalent.

Android browser support the meta tags as well I think. Not sure if it also
has a WebView API for toggling it though.

I believe that meta tag is iOS only, since it is iOS only requiring it
to be in Cordova.plist should be ok. I'm not sure what other platforms
use.
