This would defeat all caching, we use 'Vary: Accept-Encoding, Cookie'.

Yes, if we want to allow anons to set preferences, we'd have to think about ways to integrate the cookie system into the cache. That'd be a longterm project.

We don't give unregistered users the ability to set preferences now, why should we give it to them if we assign them an "anon" account?

Erik's idea sounds very good to me, although I don't have the technical expertise to understand all of the implications.
