I see.   The "edit preferences" page is definitely not clear about that. 
  It just says "e.g. PeterSmith".  Not that "It must be OneWordCamelCase 
just like PeterSmith".

And the error page that comes up if you violate that rule is no help 
either.  It just says the username is invalid, not what rule you broke.

I added an explanation of that to the GuestBook page.  Looks like that's 
the best I can do as a mere user.  It would be best, though, if the 
Preferences page could have short blurb explaining the rules for usernames.
