I doubt you'll manage to. There are too many on both sides who insist that their way is the one true way. It's possible that your kluge is actually the best way of handling things like this. Data consumers can translate contact:phone to phone or phone to contact:phone or leave both untouched as they choose. One problem with enforcing a single tag by mappers or preprocessing data before putting it in the database is that if there are subtle distinctions they are forever lost. You can always scramble an egg but you can't unscramble one. -- Paul
