The practicle way to do it would be with a signed gpg key. that would also allow applications to being using gpg more easily, thus making the whole network more secure.
"Sorry, you have to have your internet license to access this web site" or "You can not use this chat software without your internet license"
There would be a huge learning curve though (teaching people how to preserve a web of trust, and keeping their key secure, etc<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...), and a lot of protocol changes/re-designs<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... but, it wouldn't be a bad idea if servers did require a valid GPG key to access them.
Allowing the annonimous web, though, would still be needed<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... but, I think it would cause those that post anonomously without a gpg key to loose credibility.
