Comment (by Ipstenu):

 I was under the understanding that the restrictions are in place because
 the username is used for the default sitename slug. So to prevent bad
 URLS, we sanitized everything to match.

 If that can be broken out of the username check and only applied to the
 sitename, that would be okay.
