I willl argue that prefixes like "contact:", "addr:" or maybe "access:"
actually make mapping less comfortable for mappers that use autocompletion
rather than presets. I believe it is justified in the case of address, as
an exception, thankfully that's only 5 digits, but I wouldn't like to make
tag prefixing more common. (who uses prevalently autocompletion will
probably agree: addresses make a perfect exception to use a preset).

Cheers,
Martin
