May be i am not getting the whole story here but if you do allow anonymous comments or "some sort" of anonymous comments then how different is it to the other existing authentication schemes ? For e.g. on HN i can easily look-up certain nicks and i know what their public persona is via their blogs, websites etc. Does that add value to their comment ? May be. Is that what you are aiming for ? "We'd love to hear a solution that makes people using their real name without using Facebook Connect." That is a hard problem , more incidental complexity than anything else. Edit: edited for grammar.
