I'd say that if you've blocked someone who is a sockpuppet or other abuser the burden of validating such a person should be on them, not the wiki staff. At least a notary (or other public official) would have to look at an identity document - verify its validity as well as see that it indeed matches the person in question - then sign a document to that effect. This completely removes the wiki staff from the need to access the validity of a copy.
I guess it is nice to offer the blocked people this alternative, privacy-enhanced method along the old one. I'm sure current poster would be pleased, and I guess the dutch wikigods could accept that solution, too.
