Scratch that - the tokens would still need to be assigned to an
individual user (almost certainly keyed off a cookie) as otherwise an
attacker could create their own tokens and use them to attack another
user.

It would work for sites protected using HTTP authentication rather
than cookies though, as you'd be able to attach each token to the HTTP
auth username. I don't think this is a case we need to address though.
