What's about telefon/fax numbers and email-addresses for POI's?
How can one add those, too?

I think they're more essential in nav-apps (e.g. make a quick
reservation in the restaurant near by in your vacation).

It's no problem adding this information, if you've been there.
It's on the bill. Often in addition to account numbers, fiscal-id
and other non-geo information.
