I couldn't possibly disagree more, I think. *Disallowing* anon edits
would not be in the spirit of the GNU FDL.
Can you quote anything from the GFDL which suggests that anonymous edits
are in keeping with its spirit? I can't see anything which even hints at
that. In fact, since it explicitly talks of listing authors, it seems
obvious to me that its spirit is the exact opposite. If I have overlooked
anything in the license which suggests otherwise, please could you point
me to the bit I have missed?
