That's because the underlying semantics of the element are vague. The
name matches the current semantics. Shoot something other than the
messenger!
If we mean homepage-or-blog, let's say so. If we mean social security
number, let's say so. If we mean phone number, let's say so. If we mean
DNAchecksum, lets say so. Currently, all of those things could be
represented in the Web using URIs/IRIs, and could fit in that field
quite nicely.
