I'm not sure if this a good idea because even if you call it a "trust metric", it does not have to correspond to ethical behavior.Wrong concept of "trust". There exist vendors that I *expect* will treat me in an unethical way, while being totally open as to their identity.
But ensuring identity is a good measure of trust, either. Identity only matters if you want to do something to the perpetrator in the real world. This seems to be the rare exception, not the norm. I expect people just to tweak their filters and move on. (It would be more interesting if each real-world entity could only have one digital entity, but this is impossible to achieve, especially in context of IP routing.)
