This is appropriate for user interfaces, but Cosmo also uses URLs. At least DAV URLs will have the username in path. We can smash-to-lower high up in the stack (and via JS etc as you suggest), but still gets us into adding code in various places that I think is distracting for Preview. Your proposal is reasonable, but I still favor restricting our changes to create-new-user code paths. -- Jared Rhine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design
