in the firefox sync setup wizard, typing an invalid username (using @ and .) will spawn an "Unknown Error" This error should be clearer to the user that they are entering in invalid username characters. * Screenshot Repro: 1) install weave 1.3b5 2) go through new account wizard 3) type in a username with non-alpha characters (eg. tony.chung@qa.mozilla) 4) verify "Unknown Error" in client. Expected: - Friendlier error message instead of "Unknown Error"

Keywords: polish
Summary: "Unknown Error" message doesnt clarify much → validate usernames locally using the same criteria as the server
Target Milestone: --- → 2.0
We're switching to using email addresses as the user-facing login, so this pretty much goes away with that, since we'll be validating as an email address.
