i'd like to see the "state" field expanded to allow abbreviations longer than 2 characters such as NSW for new south wales in australia.

also, i'd like to see the phone number field expanded to allow longer international numbers which may exceed the current limits.

The state field size has been increased to 3 for Australia support. The phone numbers have been increased to 25 characters for better international phone number support.

These will be in version 5.25, starting with beta 8.
