I do not think I do.  Online trust has nothing nessesarily to do with
legal identity.  In fact online (aka digital) trust can be established
without knowledge of ones legal identity.  I am not the only one who
thinks so either.

"It is a common misconception that you cannot trust anonymous information. 
This is not necessarily true, using digital signatures people can create a 
secure anonymous pseudonym which, in time, people can learn to trust. "
