I see that Kathy has sent a link to the archive of John's blog post.
A couple things to add:

- only the first five digits in the ZIP code field are considered
- only the city, state, and county fields are used during address prepopulation
- the field after area code can store an alert message.  If that's
present, then the patron registration form will display an alert --
this can be useful if (say) a ZIP code is used by more than one town

+1

I suggest Patron Address City/State/County Pre-Populate by Zip Code.

I can't speak to how best to include it DIG's workflow, but if it can
be done without becoming an undue burden, I think tagging
documentation of a feature with its initial released version would be
fantastic.
