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.)
