there could be phone numbers with automatic announcements, so “phone” will 
still be valid, but contact:phone would not suit well. To give an example. It 
cannot be seen from the “phone”-key that this is the case though. I’m happy 
with loosing the subtle differences that may make  “contact:”-prefixed tags 
slightly more specific, in exchange for more universally usable “almost-equal” 
more generic tags without the prefix.
