Keep phone values as text

Phone numbers are identifiers, not quantities. Spreadsheet conversions should preserve leading zeros, plus signs, spaces, and extensions as text.

Types are hints

Different applications support different type names. When compatibility matters, use common labels and validate the output in the destination workflow.
