I still don't see when that is that usefull. I mean yeah it's nice to 
see which tags people use, but that could just be documented in the 
Wiki. When editing POIs then when a POI has contact information that 
usually makes up the majority of the tags anyway so contact: sorting 
helps little here (just look at the average store or restaurant). I 
actually find it easier to just look at the first letter of a tag to 
find it than to look at the letter after contact: Not to mention that 
it's much nicer for autocomplete.

I kida doubt someone will make an app and then just filter for 
"contact:*" Would you really want to list fax these days? Or 10x social 
media websites and not filter for the 2-3 common ones? Don't you want to 
format the address nicely? At that point it seems to be like you already 
have to look at each individual key anyway.
