[development] Creating a user and assigning a node in the node's submit callback.

[Sam Tresler]

I just did a very similar functionality only used hook_node_api: case  
'insert' to create the user and set the author of the node.  Works  
just fine there and you avoid any edge cases where the form is  
submited but the node isn't 'save-able'.
