It would also result in cross-wiki block/unblock wars with no central authority to realistically appeal to. Open proxies should be dealt with on the software level via DNSBL as discussed here a while back, and there's not so much reason to carry over other blocks. If this does occur, it needs to be a (bureaucrat-settable?) local option to inherit from one specific wiki, and blocks need to be locally overridable by local admins.
Perhaps after single login it may be good to have a pan-Wikimedia user control space where blocks are discussed/controlled multilingually. I've no idea who could be a member of this space (all admins on any Wikimedia project?).
