      Add "url" with the definition:

      A contact that is not a phone, fax, pager or email address and is expressed as a URL. This is intended for various personal contacts including blogs, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Do not use for email addresses.

      Change the definition for "other" to be:

      A contact that is not a phone, fax, page or email address and is not expressible as a URL. E.g. Internal mail address. This SHOULD NOT be used for contacts that are expressible as a URL (e.g. Skype, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) Extensions may be used to distinguish "other" contact types.

      Change the display name for "other" from "URL" to "Other"

      we removed "url" as a type for contact point, but this has lead to considerable confusion. We should restore this
