Two further afterthoughts:

1. Where I suggested a button "Restore, I noticed there exists a somehwhat 
differently-named button in the ID pane "Revert".

--> I suppose "Revert" is better because we are talking strictly to discard the 
pending edits, and go back (a single step) to what it most recently "was", as 
opposed to restoring from any earlier saved version.

2. Can the

        In-database emergency contact

have a down-cursor function that displays the one-most-recently-activated 
patient, rather like what is possible in the main person search field but 
constrained to a single value? The reason is because when the person did not 
yet exist in the database, the praxis staff would be

        (a) going to Person > Register person and inputting the person
        (b) handily pressing down-cursor to select the patient and return to 
their record
        (c) set focus back in the patient "Social network" field

                        In-database emergency contact

and so if we would enable the above function, the user would not even need to 
re-search the identity. It would offer a certain elegance of symmetry in 
returning to the patient and, by using this same down-cursor method, selecting 
the person who had just been created for this express purpose.
