True. +1 for gender and +1 for (academic) title.

Isn't the "address" field enought for this? It can be a Street+Number or
a Postal Code or whatever. I prefer a single field for that than
splitting that info in multiple fields and then having to add logic to
the output plugin (or template) to put together the information in
different ways depending on the content of multiple fields.
