I think fields like sex/salutation (this is what I also miss in fe_users) 
and birth date in the tt_address table wouldn't be at the right place there, 
I'd prefer to keep this data with fe_users.

But if there would be a relation to tt_address all adress data fields in 
fe_users IMHO should be removed, otherwise this could cause a lot of 
confusion...

BTW, does anybody know what's the reason for only having one "name" field 
and not splitting in firstname/lastname? IMHO this would be better for 
ordering and stuff like that.
