Oh it's just a side project for my own use. Not quite ready to open source - the code itself is pretty ugly and has my key in.

Thanks for the catch, and for taking the time to comment.

The spaced form came from the tool I use to upload these (data-to-osm): its phone formatter wrote every number as E.123 "+1 NXX NXX NXXX", while the US community settled on the NANP shape "+1-NXX-NXX-NXXX" (Key:phone#United States). That was simply wrong for US numbers, so it now emits "+1-NXX-NXX-NXXX" for +1 numbers (other countries keep the spaced E.123 form), and it also never replaces an existing phone tag whose digits already match, so a separator-only difference can't be uploaded as a change in future.

In this changeset the phones on 2434520616 and 6736161585 were additions (neither node had one), and 2351711911's number did change in the listing (+1-206-291-4608 to +1-206-467-4444) — but all of those were written in the spaced format, which was the mistake you spotted.

Fixed in changeset/190582439. I was going off of the name in the website for the business as well as store signage ("Papa Johns Pizza"). Thanks again!

Ah good point. I missed that - I was adding what the business actually advertises for their address
