interpreted = N
texte = By putting checks into the fields and making them compulsory or not. With just a textarea the user might forget to put in a postcode (zip code for you Americans) or a state or even a country. With separate fields you can make sure they put something for all the values you require. I'm all for simplification and never have any intention of creating more work for myself than is required, but just one field is asking for trouble IMHO.
