My first proposal: after I am logged on, I should have the option to disallow my IP address from anonymous posting. So when I am on wikipedia once again, anonymous, the system won't give me the possibility to save changes without logging in (or, may be, pushing explicit button "I want to edit without logging in, with ip-address logged").
This would be a very dangerous facility, if provided. It would mean that anyone using a proxy server could block everyone else using the proxy server, inadvertently. If we did something like this it would need doing with cookies, I suppose.
