*** birthplace (actual English word)
*** birthlocation (re-using "location" from [[iCalendar]]).

** suggested alternatives:
*** deathplace
*** deathlocation (re-using "location" from [[iCalendar]]).


* {{OpenIssue}} 'sex' is very poorly constructed given modern knowledge and understanding of gender/sex issues.  See [[gender]] for more info and suggestions.
