I agree that this would be nice but I'd be interested on your rationale for only wanting it after logins are implemented.

Well, I'm a little concerned about spoofing at present. It wouldn't be good if miscreants could get someone else's name associated with a topic they really didn't want it associated with - say, a review of a sex shop, or something. Of course, even with logins there's no way of stopping someone registering with a different person's name, but at least we would defend against abuse of the name of existing registered members. I've had lunatics harass me on unsecured wikis by using my name before, and it wasn't a pleasant experience.
