[Tagging] phone vs contact:phone WAS Re: Multiple tags for one purpose

[Colin Smale]

Your model (using only phone=*) only allows an object to have a single
phone number. How do you propose modelling multiple phone numbers on a
single object? For example, one for general enquiries, one for
emergencies, one for staff,... 

Note I am not talking about tagging here, but trying to discuss the
underlying data model.
