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

[Sam Tresler]

Well,
   If that is the case then can you add a user reference field to the  
node that you populate in your form alter with the new users uid (i.e.  
somehow get the new user's id saved with the node)?  Then re-assign in  
a seperate hook_nodeapi to $node->uid on insert.  It's a little hack- 
ish, but if the only actual issue you are having is assigning the  
author's uid, then that would do it with a few lines of code.
