It is unrealistic to expect a business owner, or leader of a nonprofit, to
follow all of our norms when we haven't made it obvious to them.  We can
clean things up after they enter their information.

Have we considered having  a very simple, node only editor / web page for
such organizations to enter their information? We could have a big warning
about spam, and have explicit fields for name, business type, address, etc.
