It certainly does. Just imagine what will happen if you make yourself
wanted by the authorities and then show your (valid) documents to some
police officers. In case you don't have valid documents, there will be
other ways to check or verify your identity, though.
At least in Germany, even for 'trivial' court cases like traffic
accidents, a valid ID document is required. I would be very surprised if
this is not the case in your country.

Aren't those contradicting? You want more control than simple ID checks
and you want to kill open source?

I don't think that this was the intention of Steve's mail.
