[Koha] borrower state

[Linda Culberson]

Thanks for your quick response about the states,  Nicole.  I apologize 
that I hit "send" too soon.

We were wondering whether we could add a borrower attribute (using 
extended attributes) for a state code, and then another for the county.  
The state codes would include something for foreign counties, so that 
wouldn't have to allow nulls, but if we had one for counties, is it okay 
for it to accept nulls?
