Yep. I understand the suggestions for a name other than "guest." It's
not a good description of the account in this case, while "testdriv" or
something would better indicate its purpose. However, "guest" is a
commonly used name for this type of account, and people do try it out
a lot even without its being listed in the help screen. The prototype
guest account had 5 to 10 failed login attempts per day. I think it's
a good choice for that reason.

Presumably its login procedure will include some brief explanation of its
not being a traditional guest account?

Yes, the proposed text encourages people to create their own accounts, and
one of the five options on the main menu for the guest account is to create
an account (it runs "login newuser"). Details are available in /u/ajax/gst.

Perhaps a smiley was in order, after my suggestion of "testdriv".
