Thanks for that tip, though I figured doing that myself from different computers, including my work computer, would essentially do that for me, but no joy.

However, this morning I finally noticed the green "Install Steam" link on the create account page, so I figured perhaps that installer would allow me a different method of creating a Steam account.

It did, and even though the Steam installer told me the available account name I had been trying to register all this time is no longer available(!), I was finally able to create a new Steam account, give them money and buy CloD.

Let's hope that was the last time I ever have to think about Steam.
