I think that is a very good idea. Otherwise, as you have noted, allowing Anon edits isn't really in the spirit of the GNU FDL. The only other real alternative is to stop allowing Anon edits and, IMO, that is last thing we should do at this point (maybe when Wikipedia is a household word we can think about that but until then allowing anybody to edit without even having to log in has been a major source of snagging new contributors - cut that off and I fear that our attrition numbers will begin to exceed our recruiting numbers).
