What about setting things up so that to create a SUL username with say,
Tegulu characters, you *must* register at TE, no other language's
registration form will accept it. That will significantly cut down on vanity
and vandal usage of the such characters.

This is especially true when abusive users have deliberately taken advantage
of this fact in order to make the lives of administrators and of other
Wikipedians as difficult as possible, and it's also true for those handful
of users that will mix character sets to "look cool" at the inconvenience of
others.
