yes, i aree. it can and should be implemented as "if user == 0 and user_name
matches ip_pattern".

my thoughts about making the distinction explicit in the database only apply to
fresh imports. this can not be done reliable in retrospect, as you pointed out.

and they should, because they *are* usernames. people actually created an
account with that name (one *some* wiki, somewhere. or someone imported
manipulated/broken dumps).

btw, something like 123.345.111.333 should also be logged as a user name :) not
sure about 0.0.0.0, but i don't think that can happen anyway.
