There may be a subtle variation. In our system the *account* is enabled
before the email address is validated. This is, however, because people can
in theory do things without using their email address - e.g. to change
their personal details used on their "personal web page" or to come back
and provide an alternative email address because the first one was a typo
:) As it happens we never got around to offering any of these services but
I think the distinction is valid.
