Keep in mind we already do log IP addresses (to an extent, for CheckUser and whatnot), so the issue isn't actually capturing information, it's the use and display of that information, especially since such display would be public. Like Brian said, de-anonymizing such information might not be difficult, *especially* on articles that are edited by only a select group of users, e.g., most Wikipedia articles.
