Consider this scenario:

I am technical contact for 1000 domains.  The domains are in 1000 separate
profiles, owned by 1000 different registrants, with 1000 different
administrative contacts.  I change my phone number.

If I had a contact handle I could update (after all, I am authoritative when
it comes to my own phone number), this would not be a problem.

Currently, I must try to get 1000 different people to go in to their domain
profiles and fix my phone number.
