I don't see the "self-discipline" pledge working. How is it possible for blog service providers to monitor ALL their users and who is to say people will hand over the correct information. The Chinese authorities would have to do something drastic to end or seriously cut the amount of people blogging. This legislation would be very difficult to enforce as Shaan says.

"Fierce Opposition" got the requirement knocked down to a mere suggestion, one that blogsites are unlikely to follow since they'd lose users in the process. If you think the pledge is evidence against that, it only covers "illegal information"; so while a blogger could have his blog shut down for criticizing the government, there would be no immediate way to identify him. IP tracking could be done, but given all the Internet cafes in China, it wouldn't exactly be easy.
