Obviously a keysigning "party" is not appropriate for people who want to be anonymous. But I don't see why, if you've verified a claimed identity in some other reasonable sense you cannot sign someone's key even if its pseudonymous. For example, a public activist now living in a free country might want to indicate trust of a pseudonymous source living under a brutal regime, and this public activist might want to convey the existence of such trust to news media / bloggers, etc. without compromising the source's true identity. That way the various parties could distinguish communiques from that source vs. the regime's disinformation even if the original public activist is assassinated.
