What is the semantics? If Person A has Phone nr X, and Person B also has
Phone nr X, should a change in Phone nr X affect both A and B?

Or is the semantic such that both Person A and Person B has a Role of
Foo (e.g. "Administrator") whose Phone nr is X? Changing the Phone nr of
Foo, would then implicitly mean that a Phone nr to A and B has changed,
but it doesn't really belong to either A or B.
