Open review does not have to be "totally" public. If one registers to
view the manuscript, the entire database containing the manuscripts
and names can be password protected from unauthorized "viewers" such
as hackers -- and web bots can easily be kept out with coding so that
those "phantom" names will not appear in results from web-based
search queries.
