Mainly because my idea was pants - and Andrea's idea was better (and conforms to what passes for a standard in this this field - i.e. it will have the least amount of negative impact - and ultimately since there is no real standard, any implementation will have some negative impact somewhere.

Carphone - as discussed in the other thread - is a legacy implementation.  It would be far more useful to keep it, but add additional cell-phone entries.  Which thankfully, it looks like Michael has agreed to implement support thereof.
