Editing without registration is not so much about anonymity but about 
openness and convenience. We allow anyone to edit Wikipedia - without 
prior registration. That's the idea about it.

Their edits are registered under their technical identifier on the 
internet which is of course the IP address. It is not about being 
untraceable. Nothing on the edit window you see if not logged in claims 
anything about anonymity.
