My thoughts on this are that this is a user interface design problem and really
isn't
anything to do with the protocol.  If an application on the client side sends
the users
password across in the "username" part of the protcol then it is because the UI
of
that client was unable to present information in a sufficiently clear maner to
the user
to get the correct data.

Thats not to say it isn't an interesting problem, I just don't think it is one
that can
be solved at a protocol layer.
