I don't hate the phone tag because if it's name and want to fight
everyone so they have to type contact:phone because I want to utterly
eliminate phone. That's silly.
The goal is quantifiable and usable data.
If the end of this discussion is explicit tags for edge cases, and
phone only used for the contact phone number that's fine by me. Sure it
might look better with a contact: namespace and be easier to describe,
but that doesn't matter. It's the definitions that do.
