Maybe the actual legal owning of the actual real legal shares could be left with a storage/holding/vault operation, so that until someone actually wants to go get the real legal share represented by a token there is no need to know who they are?
Basically you would initially have only one actual shareholder using tokens, that would be the storage/holding/vault operator.
Anyone could muck around with tokens back and forth play poker with them buy and sell them or whatever, all without any actual legal shares changing hands.
Then if/when some day someone decides they would like to cash in some tokens for actual shares only then need they find someone who is willing to not be anonymous who will hold the actual shares, or they will need themselves not to be anonymous.

Thats a good idea. I wonder if shares can be sold without officially naming the person they are sold to- the idea of having a vault operator is interesting, because perhaps a vault operator could hold the shares of more the one company- making them more like a bank for stock shares?
I would imagine that both the buyer and the seller would have to be recorded simply for tax purposes.
The "vault operator" sounds like a shell company scheme.
