That's the workaround we were about to implement. But what I was
searching for, was a more consistent way to modify the **model**
itself (which will be reflected into the database structure and
consequently in the forms), not the way Django handles the forms.
I think Django choice isn't so silly, as we have to remember it is a
general purpose user class (in some applications you won't even need
email adress).
Thanks anyway for your help ;)
