Before we do that, I suggest that we more rigorously define our goals.

As I said before, it cannot be true that _any_ alias for a user can be
used to log in, since there is no rule that says that an alias must be
unique to a user.

So... before we change anything, let's define and document exactly what
we want to be true.  Since we do have the restriction that the XMPP id
for a user must be unique, I wouldn't object to allowing that as a login
user name.

Incidentally, while the old wiki continues to exist for now, it should
not be used as the authoritative specification of what we're trying to
do, if for no other reason than that we're only maintaining the new one.
