This was the entire point of the proposal. You authorize who you choose to give your payment address to, and the sender can verify who they are sending payment to. All communication and payment info are encrypted against third party snooping, while still allowing asynchronous communication to accommodate ephemeral mobile connections. The fact that some people will choose to use this identity information for AML/KYC purposes doesn't detract at all from the fact that it gives bitcoin users the tools they need to keep their payment information private, and only communicate it with the parties they choose.
