Sounds good from a technical viewpoint, but couldn't this open another 
can of worms? I could imagine that in SL, to a higher degree even than 
on the www, people are icky about privacy and wouldn't want to reveal 
their IP addresses to untrusted parties. If you use P2P networks then 
you (ought to) know what you're doing, but with SL you didn't bargain 
for that actually. Even with explicit approval - if declining means you 
can't use some functionality, then this is a double-edged sword.
