[opensource-dev] Display names, again.

[Suz Dollar]

Sorry, if this is a duplicate, but I didn't see it come through to the 
list and am assuming I did something wrong :)

My biggest concern here is that the chat logs (local, group, IM) 
register both display and user name as a mandatory part of how chat logs 
work. This will forcefully create way to document that so and so was 
impersonating someone else and acting in a manner unacceptable to the 
real person. I'm not nearly as concerned that someone whose real life 
name is Charlene Trudeau wants her display name to be Charlene Trudeau. 
Esp since MY display name may become Char, or Charlene, or Char @ 
SkyBeam Estates or some other such whatever.

But I'd really like my IM logs, and those others might quote to read 
something like (using the last example above ) :

IM: Char @ SkyBeam Estates (Charlene.Trudeau):  I wish that there was an 
Alt-d hot key to take you to the browser style navigation bar at the top 
for easy entry of a slurl or region name.

That would be my preference for both viewer display and chat logs, but 
definitely would want to see it mandatory on chat logs for any backup 
needed with LL in AR situations or any other disputes.
