Two answers:
1) With regard to auctions run in the lunget.market.auction newsgroup:
Holding an auction -- yes -- pretty much anything goes.
Bidding -- yes -- subject to auctioneers' individual approvals, of
course.
2) With regard to automagic auctions run by the system:
Holding an auction -- no, most definitely not.
Bidding -- maybe; still undecided.
If non-members are allowed to bid in system-automated auctions, it would
be up to the auctioneer to decide who is and who is not allowed to bid
in their particular auction.
One of the main reasons behind the infrastructure of identities in the
first place is to hold people accountable in the marketplace, and
generally raise the level of trustworthiness, commitment, and personal
responsibility in the community.
