What's the reason, again, to spend the time to universally empower browsing end users to ID IPs?
I don't know what you mean by "universally", but the reason CheckUser exists is because we didn't want to give representatives from the arbcom shell access just so they could look up IPs. It's insecure, we'd rather keep the number of people with shell access to an absolute minimum.
