That is a good idea.

My user editable 'postfix' in the tag is just a means to quickly
keep two friends apart, and get noted of a possible impersonation.

However, if the Real ID (tm) has any external significance as
you proposed, then it would make sense to show that in the profile.

On the other hand - if at some point you can only get into a
virtual world with some globally accepted and legally valid
ID that everyone got (that might be another 50 years, lol)
then I'd not be happy if that was sent to the viewer of everyone
that I run into. You have to keep the possibility open for
remaining relatively annonymous.
