But as an advantage we will be able to block their accounts instead of either feeling helpless or blocking IP addresses, which could change anyway. At least if they are forced to make an account it will give us more control over the situation plus quite possibly discourage many from bothering.

Refraction, if we can just block those who make malicious edits then that should be the solution. Surely good anonymous users will arrive in greater numbers in the future, but for right now, anonymous users who are responsible for inappropriate behavior should be blocked themselves - not responsible for the loss of everyone's ability to edit. We've already had a lot of occurrences of anonymous users raging in the comments about errors on pages. Many of us have responded telling them to edit it themselves, but without their ability to do so, imagine how much worse it will be (assuming they can still make comments)?
