Because in Usernames Umlauts and dots and other special characters are allowed its not the best idea to use the username as part of the urls.

Even if it is nice (since readable) it breaks functionality.

Restricting usernames is not a good idea also, since e.g. the aquamed project uses email-addresses (that may contain dots) as usernames.

Please use the technical userid again as url-part.

This is high prio since it breaks aqua med (editing of users is not possible for example).
