Interesting.  I was wondering whether it's Starfleet's attempt at a non-sexist form
of address intended to offend everyone equally -- or perhaps Affirmative Action
requires Starfleet to hire transvestites?

Were female ensigns referred to as "Mister" in the 20th Century U.S. Navy? 
Come to think of it, isn't Saavik a Lieutenant?  Is that the same as an Ensign?
