Ideal solution:

        username is always lowercase
        original capitalization is stored in the database in the user profile

this avoids any SQL TOUPPER (always tolower the input text via
JavaScript or similar before feeding to SQL) and allows the user to
see "BoB" everywhere. You might also want to strip away punctuation
and whitespace, so that "Boba Fett!!" is mapped to "bobafett".

For extra points, allow the user to edit the stored, case sensitive
username and treat it as a separate entity from the all-lowercase
name (a la Mac OS X installer screen).

i dunno. i think that stuff is useful for myspace, but for what we're
doing? i'm not convinced, but maybe i'm on the fence.
