That's not my job, I am a customer in LL's standpoint, I don't work for them.
I already talked about possible ways to distinguish a display name from a user name, for example by putting the display name into brackets in chatlogs and offline IMs (which are plain text and html respectively), while using a different color than for user names on the chat and IM while in world (which is comparable to rich text)/ There are just plenty of ways. What I insist on is that the information "this name is a display name" must come from the server, not from the sending viewer. That's the important part.
