That is right. Made the importer and just about everything else what the 
view was designed for impossible (namely to use it independent of a 
"identity id").

See my comments on the purpose of v_basic_address
Sorry, I was in extreme hurry because of the gnumed meetig in Lismore - 
just moved into the new house after moving interstate, set up a few 
computers in the shed (freezing cold at night, fingers getting clammy), a 
provisional Internet connection, and sadly not enough time to write you an 
email explaining the changes - as I thought I would meet you in Lismore 
anyway. I apologize.
