No, the display name will be distinguishable by color or graphical-something

My biggest concern here is that the chat logs (local, group, IM)
register both display and user name as a mandatory part of how chat logs

Well, periods can't be put into the new usernames (Kelly said so
earlier). So it's a problem for new accounts where unicode is used to
cheat them. But new accounts can't copy old accounts without a period.
