These are indeed highly platform specific, moreover, they are UI/UX
specific.

It sounds like moving these to oFono is not a good idea in the first
place, since oFono is not responsible for the UI, ringtone generation,
etc.

The question is whether you want to reserve .Telephony interface for
some LE specific bits (in which case we can use something like
VoiceTelephony or HandsfreeTelephony for the current proposal) or try
not expose the LE bits over D-Bus at all (e.g. using bluez plugins.)
