Yes, I've read that (and lots of other stuff on edges, lightweight and regular). The question goes beyond that. Taken by itself, a single lightweight edge is (or should be) faster and more efficient than a single edge with a property, but what about multiple lightweight edges vs a single edge with a property? My example shows only two possible edge "types" (email and phone), but there could be many of these (i.e. skype, mobile, fax, etc.). Even if the multiple lightweight edges were better from a performance standpoint, this seems like it would get very difficult to manage.
PS - This was only an example. Frankly, I would probably handle this particular scenario (contact methods for a person) with embedded documents for each contact, so don't put too much into the details of the example, but rather the concept in general.
