I've seen a thread where Paul Wheaton says he is reluctant to hack the perl to enforce the naming policy because it is possible that some other stuff might not work. Wouldn't it be possible to do a minor hack to the code, where it generates the registration page, to add some HTML to import some external JavaScript code in order to perform client-side form validation to enforce the naming policy?
Not a perfect solution, since disabling JavaScript would get around it, but possibly a compromise.
