while in the addr:-namespace all keys are actually address components, this can 
be contested for the contact: namespace. A website for instance is not 
primarily a means of contact, sometimes it might not be suitable at all for 
contact purposes, but still there are generally good reasons to add website 
tags (further information and context). 

These discussions are going on for years (eg on talk-it), and truth is the 
contact prefixed tags are always less and their numbers are growing slower. 
Contact-advocates are usually replying this was due to the non-prefixed tags 
used in the editor presets, and they might be right that this is part of the 
reason, still it should be admitted that this proposal didn't gain sufficient 
support to overtake the non-prefixed form and it doesn't look like it ever will.

cheers
