I must be missing something obvious, because it seems apparant to me that this doesn't buy you anything. You take a person's email and website, and generate a long hex number based on the two. This identifies them uniquely, sure--but anybody who knows your email address can generate the exact same long hex number, and use it on any web page they want. If you use an email address that nobody knows about, fine--but then how would anybody verify it was you?
