People already use ENS do register a <some-name>.eth name to the respective ethereum address. It's also easy to write a smart contract that keeps meta-info on an address. This data would be public.

It doesn't. You only need a blockchain to keep public data. You can sign a message and login with that, no need to send a transaction, can be done with balance 0
Buy I thought the whole point was "owning your identity"... and know you're suggesting that we should put or personal data on a blockchain so everybody can see it?
The identity owned is the private key.
have you ignored the "public data" part on my comment ??
why do you twist "owning your identity" to mean putting everything about you "somewhere public" (like a blockchain)
