The only problem I can see with this feature is how to design a usable
UI.  Have you ever cursed these extra clever address forms that make
you select a state from a drop-down list of 50 if not a country from
the list of 100+?  A text field with auto-completion/correction and
validation would be the best, but may get cluttered if multiple
modules are affected.  We actually have similar usability issue with
the nosy list.  The + button was a great addition, but I would also
like to see a user list integration that would allow me to add other
by real name or by approximate username spelling.
