Hello
It seems that I can not create a usename that starts with a digit.
Is there a reason for this? Can it be configured otherwise? We have a
group that would like to create a user called 8pi, it is a name they
have used on many other accounts and would like to keep it for their
plone site for consistency.
Thanks

So, while it's not strictly forbidden at this level
it makes life obviously harder ...
(but frankly speaking I don't know whether there
are really serious issues when enabling such ids)
