Organisation and Person modules do the same - they have predefined, 
automatically added lines ('default_address', 'default_telephone' etc.) 
and they show their id's in the listbox.

This is a big problem when it comes to i18n, because when the lines are 
automatically added, I need to (a) be able to translate what is shown in 
the listbox, and (b) distribute translation via bt5. So, for example, my 
'hack' doesn't solve thw problem, because getTranslatedTitle uses the 
'content' message catalog, which doesn't go to bt5.
