+1 from me, but I know there are other mappers opposing this and
trying to push the "contact:" prefix.
I agree with those wanting the 'contact:' format that it is
unambiguous and might be easier to use and analyze, but since no data
consumers use it (that I know of), 'phone' is preferred. I know of
several data consumers on mobile apps that use 'phone'.
well, I too appreciate the namespaces if they avoid ambiguity - but is
there really any ambiguity with phone, fax, email, website, webcam?
contact: is a mere categorisation than distinction - and so it is just
stuffing for me.
