FWIW, many users on a network can share the same external IP address, so 
this would be unfair to them.  Tracking (on the backend) registered 
users vs. which plugins they have voted for seems to make sense.

IMHO, anonymous voting, not unlike anonymous comments, is a problem that 
can perhaps be solved by stuffing plugin id's a user has rated in a 
cookie on the browser. Not perfect, but better than an open system.
