Comment:

 IMO, This should probably be relegated to Plugin territory.

 I'd like to see a Google Last-accessed-from style plugin for WordPress,
 Thats about the only non-spam-targetting use I can see for such a
 function.

 Tracking IP's is somewhat pointless IMO, The vast majority of ISP's around
 the world use Dynamic ip's, and issues related to Proxy headers has always
 plagued comment ip tracking as well..
