i'd consider fe_user to be the dispensable table because the user data 
should be as complete as possible. in that sense tt_address offers more.
and yes, you are absolutely right: unfortunately joining these 2 tables will 
probably never happen since 99% of all extensions use the one or the other 
tables. another idea could be a mechanism of synching the tables 
automagically and use infos via a new API.
