I was just thinking about that...

Look at Mint.com <http://mint.com/>'s sign up process as an example. Not
only do they deal with blank fields, they deal with inconsistencies as
well.  Gmail also does this to a certain extent during their sign-up
process.

Anyone have experience testing this with consumers? I'm curious about how it
is perceived.
