Proposed future Actor format:

Notes
Professional Name: best porn name that we here at VEF prefer.
Aliases: only important and widely used Aliases should be listed, e.g. Ramona Kassel for Desiree Barclay or Denise Remplace for Dagmar Lost.
Real Name: deleted.
Place of Birth: deleted. No need for this and Nationality.
Nationality: this could contain Country data in fact, e.g. USA or UK or Hungary, not American or British or Hungarian. Whichever is chosen, Nationality is a good title because first letter of each field title is different. Could use shorthand country codes to save space, similar to mag series codes.
Links: field added for http://... links, with multiple links separated by semi-colons. Other categories would benefit from having a Links field, but it may be better to add Links data in the future to avoid clutter. In other words, subsets without Links could be used for the time being.

All comments welcome.

this looks comprehensive enough for me.

in relation to nationality i've been using as best to my recollection the shortening of country names as used in international sporting events eg HUN, CZE, USA, RUS, etc.
the only exception to this has been UK, which should be 'GBR' i guess. it would keep them all at 3 letters each.
