What kind of points? Am I something missing?
Overview:
- My first proposal: Deprecating "contact:phone"
- rejected by community
- Reason: "contact" prefix is more orthogonal
- My second proposal: Deprecating "phone"
- ongoing discussion
- We can live with two keys which have the same purpose
- My response: Developers and data users need to write so called "schemes". The logic behind it: One scheme, one purpose. Two tags for the exactly same purpose destroys that idea and makes the use of OSM data harder. If we want to support two tags which are for the same purpose then we need to add every exception we can imagine. So we risk to reduce the quality of our development, bugs occur and it's simply not abstract working which is the idea behind programming and which makes programs more universal useable.
- "phone" is x-times more used than "contact:phone"
- My answer: That's why I wanted to deprecate the less used "contact:phone" in first row and it failed due to to many oppose votes. Don't blame me with arguments why we should do not deprecate "phone". You had your chance to vote for the deprecation of "contact:phone" in favor of the more used "phone" key which I would have then promoted if my first proposal had succeeded.

Others have also made sensible arguments against this. There is nosign, from his responses, that any of this is getting through to him. I suggest we stopresponding here, leave him to it, and then just vote against his proposal. Either way, mostpeople ARE going to vote against it, but if we stop responding here that will keep the noisedown.--Paul
