I haven't used any of the clocking features, so I won't speak to that
side of this issue, however, I have been using org-mode files as a point
of collaboration on a couple of projects (including org-babel [1]) and I
think a generalization of something like your proposed
`org-user-identifier' variable could be very useful for many of the org
meta-data items associated with headlines.

For example, it would be great to record the user responsible for every
TODO state change, so that something like

  ** DONE Org-babel should work well when indented
     - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2010-06-10 Thu 15:48]

would instead be

  ** DONE Org-babel should work well when indented
     - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       by eschulte       [2010-06-10 T=
hu 15:48]

I think this would be very helpful, and anything that encourages the
spread of Org-mode usage through co-workers is a big win.

Best -- Eric
