Yes... a telephone is an object.  But in this case, it is
not the
"object" that the page is "talking"
about AFAICT.

It's all about context.  (And in this context, it's not the
object
that matters.  The organization that the telephone belongs
to is the
object that matters.)

In that case the "fn" should be applied to the
name of the
organization.  (Which isn't on the page.)
