A further update on this work:
* I found more yet bizarre phone-related tags "phone:1", "telephone"
and the like. These have all been tidied. My osmfilter now looks
like this: --keep="contact:*=* or phone*=* or Phone*=* or
alt_phone=* or fax*=* or tty*=*" Additional suggestions for
something to search on are welcome so I get all phone numbers.
* I found there were some formats used very regionally eg. Edmonton
Schools used one format consistently and Ottawa Schools used a
different format consistently.
* The canada.poly filter I have been using includes Saint Pierre and
Miquelon (which does not use North American dialing plan), as well
as a few US entries (especially relations which go near the
border). If anyone knows of a canada.poly that is tighter, can you
point me in the direction? I am generally leaving non-Canadian
entries alone, but they do count in the stats below.
* There are now 67 unique tag/phone number format combinations (down
from 400+ originally) when using egrep -i
'k="[a-z:]*(phone|fax|tty)[a-z:]*" ' $OSMFILENAME | cut -d\" -f2,4
| sed -e 's/[0-9]/#/g' | sed -e 's/[A-Z]/A/g' | sed -e 's/([a-zA-Z
-]*)/(...)/g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | wc -l
* The bulk of the work remaining now is to reformat the big groups
of numbers that do not begin with "+1". I will make changes by
area code to limit the number of canada-wide changesets.
As always, comments welcome.

I'd appreciate others to chime in about this, but it seems where dashes and space
characters overlap (are the only difference in format), those can be conflated together.
I'm not sure whether dash or space ends up as "the winner," but this should
reduce the number of categories.
As you consider additional conflations, you may be able to do this again and
again, getting it down to a fairly small number of formats. I urge additional
feedback (here would be good) before additional conflations, but (I keep saying
it): nice work.
