Great changes.  I like it much better.  It took a lot of work, but I managed to upgrade my (pre-MS1) site to use these changes.  For anyone who cares, these are the files I had to modify.

/includes/application_top.php
/includes/form_check.js.php

/includes/classes/message_stack.php

/includes/functions/general.php


/includes/modules/address_book_details.php
/includes/modules/checkout_new_address.php


/includes/languages/english/account.php
/includes/languages/english/account_edit.php
/includes/languages/english/account_history.php
/includes/languages/english/account_history_info.php
/includes/languages/english/account_password.php
/includes/languages/english/address_book.php
/includes/languages/english/address_book_process.php
/includes/languages/english/checkout_payment_address.php
/includes/languages/english/checkout_shipping_address.php

/includes/languages/english.php


account.php
account_history.php
account_history_info.php
account_password.php
address_book_process.php
address_book.php
checkout_payment_address.php
checkout_shipping_address.php
create_account.php
account_edit.php

However, I'm trying to do something else as well.

I want people to be able to create an account without giving their personal info (I.E. address), but still be forced to enter it when checking out. Basically just create a mini-account and then if they ever decide to purchase anything, then they have to enter their address. 

Mainly I want this for people that want to review a product. I get a lot of people that start creating an account after clicking to write a review and stop when (I assume anyway) they see they need to give an address to continue. If I could get rid of this step initially I would love it. 

Any ideas?
