The problem is, x-cart creates an account anyway, it just names it "anonymousX".
By using the email address instead of a username, the only thing the customer has to do is add a password. On occasions where the email address has already been used, maybe politely informing the customer that they have made a previous purchase and having the "recover password" handy for them to retrieve the password, and possibly checking the previous shipping information against the current information would actually be a better system than the present "username" and "anonymous" checkout system currently in use.
This probably beyond the scope of working in 4.2, but it is something to consider in later versions.
