"...one, giant, database-in-the-sky, an irresistible target for the malevolent." I'm not sure, but is this such a bad thing if this giant database is open? I mean, the most incentivized and most malevolent of people can already buy my information - and they will continue to figure out how to buy more of it as it becomes available. The important thing to me personally, is that if a company has data about me, they will let me see what it is, and then allow me to correct and (in some cases) redact this information. I guess what I am saying - put that database in the sky so we can all see it. Then once the info gets tracked back to my identity, have it subject to some kind of regulation so that I can reasonably control what is available. The database should not have any trouble finding my contact information to tell me that it knows something about me.
