That is true, but they still have to use some email address to join and use Google Docs. And these addresses are available to people sharing documents with one another.
I think you must have set Google Docs up differently from me. I've just had a look at a Doc that someone has shared with me. I can see the names of those it's shared with & can send an email to them, but I can't see what their email address actually is. I've had a look at one that I'm owner of, and I still can't see the email addresses of those I've shared it with, though clearly I needed to know them in the first place. To get back to the original question, I've used them with other staff to work on conference proposals etc., and a colleague has used it with his students, so that he can have access to their drafts (if they ask him to) before their final coursework submission. That said, I prefer Zoho docs, as I think that you can do more with them. However, I have just had a look at one (a wiki) that I've shared with others, and that is showing their full email addresses.
