The address is saved as being of type "home". That's what
the "primary" refers to. "Primary" could also refer to the
first address linked to the patient which would fit as well.

are made either an entirely new address is created or
an*other* existing address is linked to the person.

So despite what I say above you are saying this is a white
lie on behalf of the user experience ?   Personally, I'm to
technical and analytical (but could live with a reasonable
abstraction) so I need someone else to attest to that ...
