So as a "Last Call", what it sounds like I am hearing is that we
should go with Jared's initial proposal for now, and if we decide
after preview that its real important to have a fun/warm fuzzy case
sensitive display name we can add it at that point?

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.
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.
