It's already possible to restrict comments to logged-in users only (I forget whether OpenID counts as 'logged-in user' or not, though), and presumably your arguments are equally applicable to that situation. So, since those arguments have presumably been overridden or discarded already, there is presumably a flaw in them that precludes their being meaningful opposition to Chasy's proposition. Word of the day: presumably. I'm curious as to why Chasy wants it, and I doubt Chasy's reasoning will induce me to object to Chasy's proposal.
English seriously needs a gender-neutral third-person singular pronoun that's more animate than 'it' and more specific than 'one'.
