Remember that _bulk_docs updates happen inside a transaction. If any

hrrrm - technically i suppose that is true but, currently, conflicts
are impossible to detect: if you did an update of 1000 docs and one
collided you'd have no way (programatically) to take corrective action
since the cause of the conflict is not reported - if it were, then
this would seem like a viable option - i know we talked about that
before though and that it's on the radar - but just thought i'd
through that out there: denormalizing the phone numbers does set one
up for a bulk update scenario - moving the phone numbers into another
doc might help this...
