IMHO WoT is a critical part of the user interface of near future Freenet. We 
will use the same logged-in pseudonymous identity for:
- Chatting with Freetalk.
- Announcing your flog with FlogHelper.
- Hopefully easy to use social network style tools for posting photos etc - 
they'd probably be accessible both from the flog and directly.
- Private messages with WoT-adapted Freemail.
- Realtime chat.
- Microblogging (Fritter).
- WoT-based spamproof filesharing, including searching, recommending/reviewing, 
and publishing files. (WoT solves the introduction problem and makes spam much 
easier to deal with)

And probably more stuff.

Therefore IMHO the currently logged in pseudonymous identity is a critical part 
of the user interface. You will want to be able to click on somebody in 
Freetalk and see a page listing all the WoT-based apps that they participate in 
- their flog, a means to send them a private messages, the boards you both post 
to, the files they have posted as this identity, and of course the identities 
they trust, if they publish their trust lists.

It also may have security implications in the long run; we'd probably use 
different tunnels for different identities, and recommend to change identity 
after some number of requests.
