OK. For now address won't be shown when creating a new address. I want to make 
it editable "in page" without the dialog box, but I don't want to make any 
changes in the UI at this time, that is likely to cause regressions.

I'm not quite sure I get what you mean. Is it the multiselect on phone 
numbers? (emails don't have types in the UI) I have toned down the color to 
behave the same as the address type.
