Default Re: Anonymous to registered customer conversion

customer: OK.
me: I wish I could merge anon + new account so I have a happier customer.

THE PROBLEM is that an anon "customer" is not a customer.
I don't think we can technically call it a "bug" -- but it sure is a design oversight.

I think the solution is:

1. have the anon customer "register"
2. "assign" or "convert" an anon order to the new "registered" customer.

Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish #2?

This is what i wrote in my initial post:
"I've tried associating their newly created accounts to their orders by adding the userid to xcart_orders table etc, but that has resulted in a 403 error."
