Why do you need to buy anonymously? Theres anything wrong if they know your name? Maybe you are doing a wrong thing so that you want to buy or sell anonymously.

In the sense that Bitcoins as supposed to be usable "like cash", I can see where someone might want to be anonymous.

Would it make sense to require someone to produce an ID at a local convenience store when paying with FIAT cash? I for one would not go back to a store that required me to do that when paying with cash to buy a soda or some snacks.  Sad

Bitcoins should be usable the same way for most things.  However, some Bitcoin-FIAT transactions may need ID due to the law, so one cannot expect to be able to do that with anyone who has a high visibility (such as an exchange site).
I didn't say that you need a valid id to buy foods or what ever. I only mean that you should have valid ID to recognize that you are that person. Its only for exchanging your bitcoin.
