I like the approach of having a separate login name and nickname (the SimpleMachines Forum does this, for example).
We get a bit OT here. The display name + login name approach is common and ok for things like Jabber, where the client stores this information for you. But it is yet another detail the user has to remeber. A lot of applications use the e-mail address as login, which is quite sensible. But this also means that the application knows your e-mail address, which is not necessarily what you want. In short: I'd like to give the user as much choice as possible and at most as much complexity as needed.
Anyway, I've now also got a patch for jQuery, to send RFC2047 compliant auth header. :) I'll publish it soon on the cl-rfc2047 page.
