I agree, not all phone tags convert to contact:phone, same with the others. I don't think anybody is talking about a mass edit of the database. I think we should actively encourage more precise tags like contact:phone when it's a contact number. We can do that through the wiki, and defaults in the editors, and gradually deprecating the generic tags. During the transition to more quantified data we will see edge cases like public phone boxes, and others we don't yet know about, and we should discus new tags for them. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
