One thing I'd be interested in knowing is if there are alternative measures a wiki could take instead of outright blocking anonymous users, especially on Q&A wikis. For instance, if a wiki were to block words like "address" (and misspellings thereof), "phone number", "cellphone", "email", "MSN", etc..., with the title blacklist, and restricted anonymous editors to adding a pre-determined set of categories and/or templates with the abuse filter, would that be considered an acceptable countermeasure under the law? Or is the law simply along the lines of "If your site appeals to children, you must do (this) and (this) and (this), or disallow anonymous access"?
