For a 'valid' id, are there any plans to have an 'image' that the user
has to enter the word. Many systems are using this method for weeding
out machine generated user requests.
Thanks

Is there any easy way to do any of this, like an

* You can set up a throttle on editing using the built-in rate limiter
(see $wgRateLimits; note that this requires memcached or APC user
cache or somesuch)
* You can require that a user have a valid, confirmed email address
prior to editing; see $wgEmailConfirmToEdit
* For the minimum username length limit, have a look at
