But we have to look at these to decide whether it's better to move
towards the contact namespace as a whole or move away from it. It makes
little sense to move a couple keys toward "contact:" when the general
trend is to avoid its use.
In a similar discussion recently, I summed up the popularity of the keys
with and without "contact:" prefix. As of the 25th of July, the taginfo
numbers were:
no contact prefix: 1033228
contact prefix: 154241

There is no difference in meaning between contact:website and website,
both do _not_ allow fan-made pages. This should make it obvious that the
contact namespace does not imply a different meaning, it is simply a way
of organizing keys. One that most mappers don't use.
