Source? I'd like to know more details about this. If this is true and includes real names, this would be an outrage and would unleash an even bigger uproar among the community than the realID forum thing.
That's also the reason why I doubt that realID info can be accessed by anyone via the WoW API. Even revealing your name in the forums was a choice while this would be mandatory for everyone. Heck, this basically would be equivalent to publishing realID in the arsenal.
