Yeah, I really should have a written plan, and stick to it, because in the course of formally testing I decided it was a good time to incorporate the AtomPub stuff, which turned out to open a can of worms.
See, Wirebird is kinda of an email Nazi, in that it scrupulously insists on confirming email addresses (double opt-in). However, if you've ever commented on a blog, you're very likely to have seen the little "Name/Email/Website" trinity, which Atompub uses to identify authors. People have been conditioned to believe that that email really doesn't signify. Realistically, then, if we started sending confirmation emails to it, people would react negatively, and we'd have a lot of (mostly unintentional on the part of the commenter) backscatter from the bogus ones.
So okay, we have to distinguish between that email address, which we'll treat as a comment field that happens to be formatted in rough compliance with RFC822 and friends, and the verified email addresses (of which an account may have zero to BIGNUM). That's pretty trivial, other than I need to go carefully over things and make sure we never default back to the dummy one.
Which means... more testing. On the plus side, this release will more closely resemble a beta than an alpha. This is probably a good thing.
