This was precisely our thinking as well.
This is actually exactly why BIP 75 was designed the way that it was. Any
(voluntary) identity exchange is done at the application level, on an
encrypted https (or other) connection between the sender and receiver.
Identity data is not passed through or stored on the blockchain, and there
is actually no mark left on the blockchain that identity was even exchanged
on that transaction.
The only people who know identity info was exchanged, or what the identity
was is the counterparties in the transaction, and depending on
implementation, their service provider. (At a high level, many software
based wallet providers wouldn’t have any visibility into identity info,
where many hosted services would, for example)
We did this to protect user privacy as well as fungibility.
We are allowing the people who want or need to exchange identtity info
(either self signed or 3rd party validated) the option to exchange it, in a
standards based way, directly between peers, without touching the
blockchain or network itself.
Is this more clear?
