I don't think these are correct. A random channel with a contact target handle
will not have these properties populated unless they were requested. This is
because one given contact could have more than one address, this is why the
contact addressing attributes are in plural.

My concern was that CMs that implement this need to make sure that all
call/tube/text/etc channels implement this interface for consistency's sake.
It's not a big deal, but it's yet another interface. And by "implement" I just
mean this needs to show up in Channel.Interfaces, that's all.
