The UK seems to be heading in roughly the opposite direction. If I've understood the plans correctly then more individuals with significant connections to companies will have to formally prove their identities to the regulators as part of company registration but fewer personal details will then be published online. This seems a much better approach to me - rogue traders and the like can be more easily disrupted but company officials aren't having their personal privacy compromised in ways that could potentially endanger them or their families if that one crazy customer decides to do something inappropriate.
