Okay cool, I think we're all in agreement about how this should behave.

Nice!  We can keep the model's intention and have some nice suggestions in the
ui.

I certainly agree as far as mining for display names in linked, but not
subscribed, addresses.  However, I do want to keep the intended semantic that
if the *subscribed* address has no display name, we fall back to the linked
user record.  The idea is that a user can set their display name once, in
their user record, and won't need to set it every time they link (and
validate) a new address to their profile.

Aditya, do you think you have enough information to finish up mr !104?
