Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. This is exactly what I proposed with mIDm (which I trot out every two months whether people have forgotten about it or not). "I'd like to be able to report, as an option, the identity of the person making an HTTP request, as part of the headers to that request. This might come from the browser itself, eg via an identity plugin, or it might come from a web-based identity proxy." We'll probably have to wait for someone from the Stanford-MIT-Harvard nexus to 'invent' this before it ever gets adopted. But it sure would make life easier, and leverage a slew of network applications.
