Basically, Facebook's registration form has a double-field that can be either your email address or a phone number. Only one is required, but you do have to enter it twice (unlike the password, which you only enter once).

Maybe there should be a registration.form.contact with an accepts (and a corresponding repeat) that can act as an alternative to registration.form.email and/or registration.form.phone?

Putting this on the "future" milestone because I'm not certain I want to undermine registration.form.email this way so soon after establishing it.

Honestly, because this is pretty much unique to Facebook... hm. I'm thinking this might just mean registration.form has to have a notes (or caveats) that explains this.

Twitter has the same "phone or email" input, so I think it's worth figuring out.

Moving this to v0.1.0 because, yeah, I don't want Facebook and Twitter to ship with a major component of their registration undefined like this.

Eh, Facebook has email listed as a required input, and Twitter's registration is weird and not-easily-deterministic (varies depending on outside factors like having had a registration originate from your IP address recently) and multi-phase anyway (and the contact aspect is described in a note), so I think I can accept having these be a little under-served until v0.2.0.
