if we wanted to tag specifically that a phone number is connected to a 
recording then a specific tag would make sense, it was just an example how 
phone can cover more cases than contact:phone, by being more generic in 
meaning. I didn’t imply we should make this distinction, or that it is 
significant (in terms of number of instances), it was an example to demonstrate 
that both tags aren’t completely identical, still I am ok with treating them as 
if they were (of course you can still add your phone:recorded_message tag or 
„answerphone” or whatever, and I would support it, as I see a significant 
enough difference between a number you call and someone real replying vs. a 
number that always gets answered automatically, to consider whether that merits 
a different tag).
