I agree, not all phone tags convert to contact:phone, same with the<br>

I think we should actively encourage more precise tags like<br>
contact:phone when it's a contact number. We can do that through the<br>
wiki, and defaults in the editors,</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm OK with that.</div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> and gradually deprecating the generic tags.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>And there you go, wanting to get rid of phone=* and website=*.

During the transition to more quantified data we will see edge cases<br>
like public phone boxes, and others we don't yet know about, and we<br>
should discus new tags for them.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>New tags? Why? We have existing tags that work fine for them.
