Not really. It's simple to maintain a difficult to repudiate,anonymous
identity with the use of public key encryption. Too bad NSI has consistently
screwed up PGP-Guardian to the point that it's been unusable. There's no
reason that OpenSRS couldn't implement somthing that works.
Consider that you really need only to verify that the person making requests
is the person that "owns" the domain. Their ultimate identity is largely
irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion.
