I didn't tackle this problem yet. I was still strugging with the ISO-sex selector problem.

I created a value object for it and realized then that I don't want a DB table for it. As the
storage format is an integer I want to store it directly in the table of the model. Hm. Odd that a
simple TCA selector field with fixed values is so troublesome.
