Hi,
Some places have more than one fax number, telephone or any contact point. For instance, a switchboard, general enquiries, etc. Place has "telephone" but you can't describe phone numbers, like you can with the contactPoint attribute, found in Organization.

One could claim that a phone number belongs to an organisation and not a place, but:
- the "telephone" and "faxNumber" properties are already on Place, as text.
- my use-case is court houses, which I annotate as Courthouse, which descends from Place, not Organization.

Max.
