Actually, here's an even better way.
Make the user's uid the email address with '@' changed to '_'.
Thus, the user with mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] would have uid: foo_bar.com.
This works beautifully with all applications I've seen, and since
domain names cannot have '_' in them, there's no possibility of a
clash.
