thanks for the feedback - looks like I don't have any freetime to
made the state/province validation. Now you can fill that as you
want, eg. ZZ, so plese be carefully.

I've consulted with Thomas, and now I separated this new feature
from my WAEDC branch.

This is the source, what you can use:

Zip archive:

The scoring logic of Tlf is very difficult, and hardcoded
deepthly. Now the US states and Canadian provinces doesn't
calculated as multiplier. Only you can fill the state or
province. May be I can try to finish that to start of contest.
