I'm not really advocating it, but we can discuss the issue. Maybe it's our first 'Wontfix'...

Usually the trend is to have a verification email sent to the user, which they click to auth. If they typed in the wrong email, they don't get the verification, and the account isn't authorized.

Agreed. I’d rather not do eMail confirmation.

Testing the verification w/ email workflow will be fun.

The other design trend is to present a confirmation of the user's email next to the sign up button, showing exactly what they've typed, or an intermediary page that shows the user's account details to confirm before creating it.
