So after chatting with Andrew, he pointed out that when
we're a member server we must cope with usernames containing
spaces in them as we don't get to chose the naming restrictions
at that point (although many of the '%' substitutions will
probably replace the ' ' with '_').
So we really should work in this case. Can you recap what
isn't working ?
