Although not an issue persay, the following should help in being able to determine what 'a valid inbound FA username is', when parsed, and what the translated name that belongs in a URL should be. Feel free to edit this if additional discoveries are made for your own use!

Alphanumeric characters are normal, granting that uppercase is forced to lowercase in dirnames.
Table below shows discovered special characters in the wild, and if stripped as part of a dirname.
