Bryan, as a copy operation, I'd expect all the tags to be copied - it is
after all the purpose of copying ! why should the contact details of a
pasted object be different ?

URL / website -  If the thing has a website, then that should be tagged as
website. If the URL is to a document, use URL. I'm happy both should stay.

As for contact:*, I'm not bothered either way - but have a preference for
choice - so that if there's a reason for its use, it can be used.

I'd be interested in a response to the idea of an object having a 'data
manager' tag - for one who should be consulted before editing an object - a
person who has agreed to maintain that object in the db.
