Location Error Flags for Birth/Christening Places?

I had a few seconds to be bored and goof around a little. So just to stress the Data Quality Score, I took the profile I'm currently working on for a woman born in Norway in 1881 and for her christening one month later, I put in New York, United States.

This did not trigger any consistency flags for the places being so far apart. Shouldn't it? While it is not impossible the family jumped on a boat and traveled to New York in the month between her birth and christening, it would be highly unlikely.

    @Gordon Collett I would think it should. Added to the queue.

    In another discussion about this, @Adrian Bruce1 suggested that such checking would also need a time component and not just distance. Birth and christening in the same week would be a very different situation than birth and christening years apart.
