Comment:

 MySpaceIM also does not use the term "screen name" anywhere. Like MSN, you
 login with your email address, but this is not the same as your username.
 You can pick your username to be anything you want, and it is how other
 people contact you (and you contact them--the buddy list displays
 usernames).

 In the documentation for msimprpl I have to mention you need to login with
 your email address, not your username. I think it would be much clearer
 for the account dialog to say "Email:" when that is what it wants.

 We could keep "Screen name" when this term can be used generically to
 refer to an arbitrary identifier, whatever it is technically called by the
 protocol, if this is less confusing. I have no strong preference here, but
 I'm definitely for being able to change the field to ask for an email
 address when appropriate.
