I myself do not use biblatex.  But it seems to me that the sheer number
of entry types supported by biblatex gets overwhelming and inefficient
for users that may use only a subset of all biblatex entry types.  Could
it make sense to break down the list of biblatex entry types into two
customizable subsets such that commands like bibtex-entry and the menu
"Entry-Types" list only the "important" entry types, whereas functions
like bibtex-validate accept the complete set of entry types supported by
biblatex?
