Ah, yes. I removed these deprecations from the proposal. (I don't think 
anybody would disagree with addr=* and contact=* being tagging mistakes 
but if that distracts from the proposal, I agree that it's better to 
keep that separate).

I disagree, since that becomes a mess for suffixes.

I guess you mean KeyPart::conditional? Because with a suffix the : comes 
before the suffix ... not after.
I find KeyPart::conditional to be very unpleasing / confusing.

Besides I strongly disagree with using KeyPart for both KeyPrefix and 
KeySuffix
because some string might have different meaning as a prefix or a suffix.

The template could generate a description like "A [[namespace|key 
prefix]] for {{description}}"
so that people who don't know what a prefix is can click on that for the 
explanation.

Best,
