Currently, if a profile is attached to an event, and the profile contains the email address field, it is silently removed so as not to duplicate the hard coded email address that is required by the event registration process. I think it would be preferable for the profile email field to remain and the hard coded one in the even template to be silently removed. That allows the event creator more control over the placement of that field (it currently lands in an awkward location, out of sync with all other fields that might gather info via profile), and also the layout (because the email field is alone, it typically doesn't line up nicely without some additional css work).

With the option to register multiple people with a single address available, I realize this may not be as trivial. However, perhaps a more fluid way of handling that option would be to simply require the email address of the primary registrant (via profile or hard code), and then if the user assigns a profile for the additional registrants, it is simply their choice whether it's included or not. Actually, I guess you'd still need the option explicitly provided in order to determine an action with regard to email if no profile is selected.

Anyway, just a suggestion.
