Except we don't all agree that they are for the same thing, not even phone
and contact:phone  That's one of the reasons this argument goes around and
around.
The other is that those who agree they are the same thing cannot agree on
which
of the two to use.

But not all of them are necessarily contacts.  I've added URLs for
historic buildings that give more information about the building.  There is
nobody to talk to about it.  I've added websites for companies; there is
a contact page on that website but the URL I've given is for the company
website as a whole.
