 I've been working on this same issue for a while myself (implementing it
 entirely as a plugin). Though I'm about to go live with a solution, core
 support would be great.

 Thinking forward a bit, this has some implications for MU and BuddyPress
 (and it's inside BP that I'm trying to solve this). How would BP construct
 a persistent user profile URL if not by user_login (as it currently does),
 for instance. Still, there's an easy answer to that (use the users.ID, I
 guess), and being able to use an email address as username is an important
 big step.
