Making the http trick obsolete is a good step forward in ensuring 
privacy and maybe a step forward to some LSL policy. Like TPV policy was 
a start to stop copybot development/distribution. When will LSL being 
policed about what can be done? LSL can also be used to replicate prim 
parameters and export/import. And newer tools abusing the llParcelMedia 
commands can be used to get the IP address of the users and they allow 
planting cookies into the viewers, that are shared between all accounts.

Don't get me wrong on here. The hypothetical scenery I'm thinking about 
is a stalker being friends with a land owner, tracking down the alts of 
myself to grief me. I am not against banning on the viewer identity. 
Though alt account information is no one's business until LL makes that 
information available.
