(I have a related question, so I'll answer this from my point of view,
not from the original poster's.)

In my case, phone numbers can be shared among people.  Consequently, I
wouldn't store them as regular business objects because they are not
wholly contained by one person.  Or at least that's my thinking.  Is
that a valid counterexample?
