"bogus idents" seem to go against the notion of a "content tracker" which should *help* identifying the user who was the reason behind the change. It shoudln't encourage users to create "anonymous changes". Thus an "anonymous user" seems to completely obscure the meaning of a "content tracker", at least in my opinion Moreover, there's no tool that can satisfy *all* of it's users because Humans are so diverse in their thoughts and behaviour. -- Kaartic
