The email address shown in the Contact's header area should dynamically change when the user types a new address or changes the default/preferred email from their list.

This will help to reflect the current selection and the validity of defined data.

It would be nice to also move the address that's preferred to first spot in the list (both after editing, and for initial load).

Good point. Yes for initial load. OK for mouse editing I guess. But for keyboard change of default address, with screen readers and such, there might be problems if items swap their order as you navigate through them, which will automatically set the default address on each navigated item. Henry might know more.

This won't merge. It looks like it needs bug 1717632.
