I think the real solution is to add notes support to contacts;  notes
can already have a type. So you'd just create a note type of "call" if
you need to differentiate.

Supporting notes on contacts solves lots of issues.

Notes, being documents, I think already support permissions if someone
needed them.  I know that for a call log to be useful to us it would
have to support some at least rudimentary permissions.
