It is interesting. I do wonder whether making rewies non-anonymous might make especially younger scientists who are asked to review an article tend to be a little more lenient than they would otherwise be, for fear of reprisal form someone more entrenched in the field. Reviewer comments at the end of an article could be printed anonymously, I suppose. They could even be included in the electronic version only (with a notice in the print version that these are available online), as is currently done with supplimentary materials.
...yay for fish pathology!
