I'm concerned that the right thing to do is still open for 
interpretation.  Based solely on the method names, I would guess that a 
method called getUserName() should return "Shane Hathaway", while the 
method getId() should return something arbitrary like "501".  Neither 
one is my login name "shane", which should be available through the 
nonexistent method getLoginName().

Would it make sense to add getLoginName()?
