After reading your response it occurs to me that James was suggesting
adding _at as a label rather than encoding it in the hash - makes

more sense.

Having said that, I still question whether _at really helps much since
humans aren¹t likely to read/write the encoded user name.  Even if we
decide to not hash the user name it will need to be encoded because of
special characters.
