Um… what, then will be the value of my having split out the SQL for each 
country in

    gmCountryZones.sql

and nearly done data packing them all,

-> ease fixup of things like what happened to your database
-> establish convenient consistency in supplying per-locale
   demographics data

1. Pre-load for the benefits of demo, and evaluation. Where it turns out (in 
any praxis) that cities and province / states from non-needed countries are 
frustrating their users' selections (on account of duplicating city and state 
abbreviations) then praxis IT or a special data pack could remove all dem 
records that are not in use.

-> That would IMO be a worthwhile data pack, yes.

Desired countries could then be selectively added.

-> For which your abovementioned started data pack would
   be helpful.

2. Establishing a mechanism to make available street / city preloads (which 
presently we have only for AU and BR and … ??)

-> yes, see my points above.
