Note one oddity here: there is what we call the screen name (which you
can change whenever you like) and then there is the permanent alias
used in the URL. In my case, both happen to be 'stewart' but there are
many users who use two different strings.

This can be confusing on the end user side (I'm sure you guys are
smart enough to figure it out for programmatic stuff), so just a word
of caution when thinking about UI, because people can get confused
about that point.
