A great idea in general, that would make eidenv a more generic utility, as the 
need is universal but the current implementation a patchwork.

I guess there's some kind of (international/EU) standard for travel documents 
(ICAO MRTD?) that define names for common fields of such documents. That could 
be used as a reference, probably there's even a standardized translation 
available somewhere under *.eu
