I'd sooner keep identity out of email receipt as far as anti-spam is

Sending anonymous mail is not a right or freedom of the sender.
That view is as common as wrong. Anonymous mail is a violation
of the freedom of the recipient.
Please, let's not talk past each other like this.
You have the right to speak anonymously. Or not anonymously. I also
have the right to listen, or not, and choose any way I feel like how to
decide not to listen.
Sending anonymous email is a right. Choosing not to receive email is
also a right.
Brad is simply recommending that any "IETF/standards/governmental
recommended anti-spam" mechanism not rely on forcing people to be
non-anonymous, and/or requiring "anti-spam" procedures to block
anonymous email a-priori.
I think that's perfectly reasonable, and doesn't have anything
whatsoever to do with the principle reason for _this_ group - spam.
