Nope, just eliminating an assumption or two: identity required for

Real identity is required for court,
No it's not. You just need the person, not their identity. The
identity is useful for eliminating mistakes, of course, and the court
will look at that aspect. That's its job.
If you need to get someone in court, they either come willingly, in
which case nothing is needed, or you need to find the person. This
requires either a physical address and a service of summons to the
person, or in webcommerce, courts will these days accept an email
address if the circumstances are appropriate (e.g., that's how he
closest you got when doing business).
So, if you were looking at resolving disputes -- are you? -- then you
would look at how to get the person into a forum of dispute resolution.
If that is the service that you are looking to offer the person, then
it needs to be tuned to do that.
why eliminate it?
Because if you claim that it is needed to resolve disputes, then this
may be deceptive. (At the least, you should figure out why it is needed
and use that reason.)
According to my
preference I may freely decide in order to give somebody access to
certain resources which are truly under my control, I may require a
verified identity too. It's about the risk assessment of each of us,
being it private or corporate.
OK, I buy that. Would you sign to that as a principle?
