glibc upstream recently deemed that the tel/fax fields are not useful
and dropped them from the few locales which had them defined. Do you
think we could/should drop the descriptions from the man page as well?

the fields are technically still supported, we've just emptied them out.
i would add a note saying that their use is discouraged in favor of the
other fields like e-mail.

Fair enough, how about this?
