So you are suggesting that the best option for me is to save the userdb.fname,
userdb.lname, userdb.company, etc. in the address_book as a "default" entry
when the account is created?  I guess using this method I could ignore the
userdb.* stuff and only allow the user to select from the address_book at
checkout.
