My understanding is that any one that wishes to contribute to OSM, they already have to register, as we do not allow for anonymous edits, I know that JOSM requires my account settings for upload. If that is the case, can we not just tie the OSM authentication in to the WMS layer, so that you are only able to view the data IF you have an OSM account. I know that if this is done it's not a case of "just" any thing, and certain pieces of infrastructure would be required (I'd be interested in helping with this), but if it would increase the ease of use, then may be it is some thing we should try and do?
