[wp-hackers] Filter display_name?

[Otto]

Why not use some javascript to modify the contents of it? jQuery is
loaded on that page, and you can access it easily enough with
jQuery('#display_name').

The actual value of the element is sent back as is and saved, so
whatever you change it to will be valid.
