In itself the answer is serious. The wish expresses a bit of irony.

Because developers like to code and creating frameworks is for some
reason the "wet dream" of many developers. Besides that there are
different approaches (and programming languages) to build such a framework.

Yes, additionally to my claim above.

Both.

Fine that we agree here.

No.

Speaking from experience I found using tt_address in real world TYPO3
installations useful. Often I could deploy it without any change,
sometimes I had to add only a few fields or minor features.

This is what I expect from a FLOW3 Address package. A robust
implementation of the most common requirements found in web applications
(mostly: CMS and shops) to build on.

Great.
