I couldn't possibly disagree more, I think. *Disallowing* anon edits would not be in the spirit of the GNU FDL.
Can you quote anything from the GFDL which suggests that anonymous edits are in keeping with its spirit? I can't see anything which even hints at that. In fact, since it explicitly talks of listing authors, it seems obvious to me that its spirit is the exact opposite. If I have overlooked anything in the license which suggests otherwise, please could you point me to the bit I have missed?
