Good post, Taco. Really worrying. The proposal is full of contradictions. How can you have anonymity online if you have an individual I.D.? And who needs I.D.

If i recall, the internet id thing is a myth, it came out of some journalists misunderstanding of technology and the actual plan was to *stop* there being one universal ID and to put the details private companies hold on you in your own hands to edit.
I'll try to hunt out the article.
