OSM allows everybody to tag whatever he likes, which is great. Still I don't think that a website is "contact"-information, like a phone number is. Neither has "contact:webcam" anything to do with "contact". Actual usage shows that the whole "contact" is a typical "wiki stillbirth": 108398 website (wiki page created 20:17, 3 April 2008 ) 240537 url (wiki page created 23:19, 8 May 2008 ) 4332 contact:website (wiki page created 08:06, 22 January 2009 ) For the disputed phonenumbers (many mappers argue that phonenumbers are no geoinformation) the situation is similar: 88147 phone 9015 contact:phone Btw.: there is (still) 0 contact:addr:street and 0 contact:addr:housenumber in the database. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
