Comment:

 > As for the requirements themselves.. I would be open to considering
 tearing these checks out altogether.

 I think someone would first need to put together a table of how non-MS and
 MS handle all the edge cases, so we can figure out what we want to do. I
 can't visualise what the inconsistencies might be if we let non-MS and MS
 handle things differently.

 > I have definitely written plugins that reach into this error object and
 unset various things, and if they were no longer grouped under
 'user_name', those mods would break.

 How are you parsing the appropriate error to unset? If the "key" is the
 same, are you matching on the (translatable) strings?
