the numbers you list are like that because, as i mentioned before, most use the presets for tagging. if the presets would be changed to use the contact: prefix, the situation would be exactly the contrary in two years. so we should list advantages and disadvantages of a namespace and think about if it might make sense to group them under "contact:" in the future by modifying the presets. existing tag could easily be changed to the namespace (or the other way around) by a simple one time batch job in the databas
There's another factor - there are now map data consumers, and I can tell from experience that they all use 'phone=', not 'contact:phone=' for example. Changing data consumers is much more difficult than just the Wiki and editor presets.
