Re: [Tagging] phone vs contact:phone WAS Re: Multiple tags for one purpose

Let me summarize

Why `phone`:
- It's more used
- It's shorter
- Better to find in wiki

Why `contact:phone`:
- It's more structured because it's a subkey of `contact`
- It's better to find in wiki (for people who think in a "more structured" way)
- It's the approved one

Both let us add more subkeys like `emergency`

there are at least two possibilities:
phone=
phone:emergency=
phone:staff=

and:
phone=
emergency:phone=
staff:phone=

Neither of which requires "contact:"

exactly, I was about to reply the same, it is not an issue for more specific tags that there is also a generic tag.

So will we now have the OSM-style discussion about which phone number to put in the generic tag? All numbers are equal, but one is slightly more equal than the rest...
