Hmm there's a thought. That would potentially help against bots. Off the top of
my head, I don't think I've heard complaints of bots doing self-registrations. 

I just remembered that somewhere had a negative captcha, and it looks like
opac-suggestions.tt is the one implementing that, but I think most bots can
easily bypass that one these days. 

I think I still feel a bit weird about unauthenticated ILLs, but I suppose
they're not really that different to unauthenticated purchase suggestions,
although I don't love those either. But then in both cases they're staff
mediated anyway... so I suppose that's all right. 

But yeah... some kind of capture is needed I think.
