Richard,

many thanks for your feedback !

> No date validation routines on DOB
Added as TODO.

> no combo drop down on title or gender
- title is a self-learning phrasewheel
- gender is a non-learning phrasewheel
however, it's likely better to make gender a real combobox,
this is a TODO already

> won't accept data entry into state 
States are fixed entities that can be known beforehand. Hence
only values from a pre-existing list should be allowed in order
to avoid garbage-in problems. This is how it works now: a
non-learning phrasewheel. However, for our first releases we
should probably allow to enter states. It might perhaps be
better to disallow that later on so as to lure users into
submitting state lists to be included in the database. "Allow"
added as TODO.

> auto-search on country has quite a time lag
The auto-search on all phrasewheels in use so far is 300ms as
suggested by you. Except for the gender which is set to
something below that. Do you suggest using another value ?
