Ah. I see I was misunderstood. The goal was not to make the shop anonymous, but rather to be able to provide change to an anonymous payer.
I had thought that the basic purpose of the fully anon system was just that - full anonymnity for payer and payee. Under your suggestion, the shop gives up this anonymnity under these circumstances in order to be able to make change. I'm not sure if I would call that a very good tradeoff... -Allen
