Wrong definition

I believe the provided definition is wrong. This key seems to represent a code that you give to the operator after calling a emergency:phone=* line. In return, the operator can give you an access code for an emergency equipment, such as a defibrillator, or can despatch an emergency response team to the location associated with the code. I suggest changing the contents to something along the lines of:

> This tag is used to associate an emergency, location, or object code, that should be provided when contacting an emergency:phone=* line. This code could be used by the emergency response teams for pinpointing the emergency location, or for giving access codes to an emergency equipment, such as a defibrillator.

Please let me know if I am misinterpreting the purpose of this tag. --Hocu (talk) 13:26, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
