Sorry... I haven't pulled an all-nighter (as I did last night) in ages, and it probably shows. :-P Had a little nap and now I'm feeling a little bit more coherent. Possibly.
Let me try again... Basically, my train of thought went: if Google isn't welcoming in their big open-to-the-internet sandbox, and if Google+ features become available bundled with Google Apps (see http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/nonprofit/index.html), then a fannish entity might simply become an Apps customer (either as a for-profit or as a non-profit enterprise) and then offer fannish accounts within their domain, setting fannish guidelines for the usernames to be used there.
I continue trying to brainstorm whether or not there are specific barriers to that possibility (I don't know if there are any kind of content restrictions within Google Apps for Business, for instance)... the one obvious barrier would be cost/funding, of course.
