yes, but if you look in this case on the wiki history, it was created almost 6 years ago (Jan 2009) by copying info from another page (i.e. this is likely older then 6 years). In all this time this alternative way of tagging didn't find enough support to even come closer to the un-prefixed tagging alternative. IMHO we shouldn't wait any longer and declare the alternative way for deprecated. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:contact&action=history There are also strange suggestions like "contact:webcam" (how would you contact someone via his public webcam?) and some documented keys are not even used 5 times (one has no occurence at all). These are at best proposals but shouldn't be in a "Key:"-Definition page. cheers, Martin
