Because then nobody can view profiles without potentially revealing  
to the person they're viewing that they have viewed the profile and  
where on the net they were viewing from. People are already having  
problems when they set the "web" tab of a profile to load by default,

The best thing to come out of the recent changes in streaming media  
is that you can have streaming media enabled in the client without  
automatically connecting to the media source. That eliminates the  
streaming media "web bugs" that people were using to automatically  
track visitors by IP address.

None of these schemes should even be considered until LL is prepared  
to host the kind of proxy infrastructure that makes stalking people  
by IP address impossible.
