If no email set, I think "$USERNAME" is reasonable... no point in the
'<>' causing clutter.

If no username set... then something like '@[IPADDR]' makes sense...
(not in email brackets).

In the case of OpenID login.. I think that's a special case... I don't
think attempting to munge something meaningful out of the OpenID makes
sense... but I think some massaging might need to be done.
making sure that no one irrefutably spoofs a post by someone (since w/
the setup where email and effective username are configurable, there's
no determination of uniqueness)
