Me too!  I would even suggest that all I-D authors, at the very least, should 
need to register with the IETF to submit documents.  Optional @ietf.org 
offered.

Having an IETF identity is OK if all you ever publish is in the IETF. Some of 
our participants also publish at other SDOs such as IEEE, W3C, ITU, and quite a 
few publish Academic papers. Using the same identifier for all these places 
would be useful, and that single identifier is not going to be an @ietf.org 
email address.
