Comment:

 "We decided, some fairly long time ago, to standardize on "username" for
 that field."

 Standardizing on this is a decision that is not perfect.

 A more perfect decision would be to specify different field label wording
 for each protocol.

 Each protocol's set of credentials has its own ontology, and it's not a
 connector's/client's/application's duty to redefine a protocol's
 credentials naming.

 If a connector does this, this is a source of potential problems for every
 connector's user---i.e. for millions or billions of people. If Pidgin
 wants to be imperfect, then Pidgin can be imperfect---but it's Pidgin's
 fault to cause all these problems with Pidgin's functionality.
