Use theme('username') in user profile page titles

So here the patch both for

  $items['user/%user_uid_optional'] = array(
..
  $items['user/%user/edit'] = array(

so testing

I suggest that we fix the issue I created over @ #465160: Make theme_username() able to return username without link first. Before we fix this. I think it is a little bit "hacky" to use filter_xss() where we don't want the username linked.

This solution was first suggested by pwolanin over @ #229660: Use theme_username() in the personal contact form

Here the new patch that also fixes user_view

Is it possible to backport this to 6.x? patch incl

How about a 5.x patch?

#192056: User's raw login name should not be output directly attempts to solve this problem, too.

Suppose it's time to review this

In todays 7.x-dev package, within user.module:

/**
 * Menu item title callback - use the user name.
 */
function user_page_title($account) {
  return is_object($account) ? format_username($account) : '';
}

I believe this was probably fixed in the post Dave Cohen mentions in #7. I looked briefly at user.module and format_username() is in wide usage.

More accurate status.
