I think that an amazon style implementation is a big mistake by default.

In the case of amazon, there are very clear demarcations between public and personal content and I don't think their programmers will have much difficulty figuring that out.

I think our users will think they are logged in if their name shows up in the welcome box (I know I do) and will be rightfully confused (as you were to discover that they are not actually logged in).

Second as a programmer I don't want to have think about if I know who the user is and seperately if they are validated or not.

The story for 3 is easiest to understand and works well.  We can pre-populate the login form with their email to make things easier for them.

4(with modification) would work fine for me as well as long as we covered all of the necessary checks (request processor etc)
