Description
On the page:
?q=user/register
It says:
"Your full name or your preferred username; only letters, numbers and spaces are allowed."
But it allows '@' (and possibly other) symbols. So, fred@gmail.com, works as a username.
So either the guidelines are wrong or the input filter is broken.

Confirmed.
It allows punctuation symbols like @ and £, so guidelines should be updated.
#2
This bug still active in D7.x-dev It allows punctuation symbols like @ £ and €

Well, practically the message itself is wrong, but reading it assuming the rightness wouldn't lead to any problems. So I think it is more adviseable to say that this is an undocumented feature.
Has anyone checked the code? As long as this isn't done, I close it since it does not bother. Before re-opening it, please verify the sourcecode first wether or not this is an input validation error.
