Comment (by doug):

 I've attached a patch. (Hey, my first patch ever! TortoiseSVN is very
 cool.) I think I found all the places 'login' and 'logout' should be
 changed to 'log in' and 'log out', including within the default and
 classic themes.

 In case I need to bolster my case a bit:

 * 'Log in' is used alongside (and in equivalent syntax as) the phrases
 "Get New Password", "Register", and "(Go) Back to blog", all of which are
 verb phrases.
 * 'Log out' is always accompanied by the title attribute (pop-up text)
 "Log out of this account", confirming its status as a verb phrase.
 * The Dashboard uses the similar phrase "Sign Out", which is a verb.

 In addition to the above changes, I also reordered the links on the
 Register and Lost Password forms to be more consistent.
