Can we detect if username and email are already taken before submitting the form?
yes seems an easy implementation with some js codes.

2 - Can we use only 'email' as the unique/identifier field and drop the username?
after 10 years i still cannot understand why core team always think we must have one field for login?
we can login with both "uname" and "email" fields.
I sent a feature about the ability for logging with email. i activate it in my website and users are really happy with it.
It is very important for
non latin character websites ( like persian, arabic, ...) that users select multibyte, very long "uname"
email login hack featurethen if we have a fully functional profile system in the next xoops we can have features to create more fields
connected to "each other"/"other modules/extensions" and finally webmaster can create a field and name it "display name" and show it in all modules with some easy ways like a smarty in template.
