Please clarify. Do you limit that to human identity, or both human and
network identity?
That would be human identity - network anonymity is (currently) problematic
except in reasonably controlled situations (like anonymous relays, which
can deal with the worst of the problems, but tend to be inconvenient for
casual use).
Having said that, it may be that as things progress and it becomes more
common for the network identity to be capable of being associated with the
human identity, then this needs to be also capable of being treated
anonymously, or at least of limiting the externally visible identity so
that a person is identifiable only as somebody in a reasonably large group.
