Also, it would break all current data consumers.



I think the concern about data consumers in general is far higher on this tagging list, then among actual data consumers.

For example:  Any decent data consumer needs to process both:

    phone=XXX
             +
    contact:phone=XXX

Else they're missing 100,000 data points.   So even if phone was mechanically retagged to contact:phone (or the other way around) data consumers would not even notice.

The problem is that if you don't find a phone number you may miss a phone call but that if you use wrong access or routing tags you will instantly have GPSes send cars, bikes or pedestrian on the wrong road.
It's really difficult to have it understood that GPS software blindly obeys rules and that tags must also strictly obey the same rules for the GPSes to work.  The many many routing tags errors are a real PITA.  Even wrong instructions in the documentation causing contributors to be misinformed.  Is OSM suitable for GPS ????

Cheers

André.
