I like everything except... I think we should standardize on "username"
instead of "screen name."  Aside from "screen name" being kinda dumb, I think
"username" is more widely recognizable, and has a meaning that is easier to grasp.

Screen name is very AIM centric.  google searches for "screen name" and
"screenname" return a combined count of about 6.2 million hits, while google
searches for "user name" and "username" return about 782 million.  And
username has more hits than user name.
