As long as we're on the topic and have a French native present, where is the distinction between the French "Mme" and "Mlle" drawn? Is it, like English "Mrs" and "Miss", a matter of marital status, or merely of age?

I'll let Yvan Koenig answer that, but I do know that it German it is both. When a woman gets married, she ceases to become "frauline" and becomes "frau", but when she reaches a "certain age", she becomes "frau" regardless of her marital status.
