 Could it be possible to clarify a bit the login/registration system for
 computer-illiterate people, by putting a grayed-out example of the kind of
 data they have to enter in each login field?

 I have already seen this on other websites, and it is very effective IMHO.
 For example:
 - ID: grayed-out johnsmith
 - Email: grayed-out john at smith.org
 - Etc.

 Of course, the grayed-out examples should be considered for i18n, so that
 the form displays examples relevant to each culture/language.
