Let the foo@example.com be the username. I.E. allow the use of @ in the username without treating it special. This might require a password reset but the user can request that himself. Feasible?
Contrib already has a number of modules that control what various sites want to see as the userid. In general the whole web has mixed opinions on whether one should use their email address, a screen name, a real name or allow people to use any of the above. Going to OpenID introduces another possibility, for example I am yktdan.pip.verisignlabs.com as well as yktdan@drupal.org (and lots of other places).
