Not to be a wet blanket, but anyone can sign their email "David Chess" 
right now, or create "David_Chess at foo.nom", or even (if their last name is 
"Chess" anyway) *name their children* "David Chess", and there's not a 
thing I can do about it. 

So the possibility of text with my name on it, that I did not in fact 
write, is already something that I live with constantly, that we all live 
with constantly, and that we seem to be able to cope with pretty well.

I am also curious about what will get logged in IM and chatlogs, though. 
Maybe there will be an "include user name in chatlogs" option in 
Preferences, or something?  (Just like there's a switch that includes 
timestamps now, for instance.)  I can see that being useful (maybe as the 
default, even).

Dave Chess / Dale Innis (but not the only person bearing either of those 
names!)
