New description:

 WordPress has a number of unloved Profile Fields inside wp-admin user
 profiles, such as:

 * Website
 * Biographical Info
 * First / Last Name
 * Nickname

 Let's add a special kind of xprofile field that displays this data, and
 saves updates back to where-ever WordPress is storing them. Let's make
 this work for fields added by third-party plugins or site customisations,
 too.
