This would just be an alternate way of getting EBDB anniversaries into
your Org agenda. Instead of sticking %%(ebdb-diary-anniversaries)
somewhere in your Org files, EBDB would export a separate Org file
holding its anniversaries as headings, which you would include in the
Agenda. It would only make sense if the user wanted to make lots of
edits to the anniversary entries.
I'm probably just overthinking things!
I've just pushed the changes so far, and released a new version, and now
will work on further customization. I want to implement this for the ID
field as well: I meant to do that quite a while ago, and my own passport
expired because I hadn't yet gotten around to writing the code... :(
