Sorry to post again, another thought on this:
It would probably be useful to reduce the comparison to the set of users with no non-deleted edits. Who care if someone spoofs a deleted user?
We can expect that, say, [[User:Jimbo Wales]] won't actually have any edits on the majority of our wikis. Does that mean there's no need to check for spoofs of that username?
