 As @nacin put in in [comment:36:ticket:24078], install.php needs better
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poka-yoke poka-yoke] — a Japanese term for
 'mistake-proofing' — for error handling and validation, especially since
 'admin' was removed as the default username in [24998].

 Currently, displayed errors take the form of 'ERROR some error' which
 isn't great. That formatting needs improvement but it also seems like this
 might be a good opportunity introduce some in-line validation. Whether
 that be js with no-js fallbacks or what-have-you.
