I suspect there's a good reason to leave out your height (while still retaining it in the passport database).
It makes it harder for people to use stolen passports. They can alter their appearance (to some extent), but then be caught on the basis of a discrepancy in height.

BTW, our >passports bear the mention "European Community". I renewed my passport a couple of weeks ago. The old one said "European Community", whereas the new one says "European Union". The old one also had my height as 174 cm, the new one didn't have my height at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Tom Wade, EuroKom | E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (all domain mailers).
