Not a bad idea, except it would reward ad spammers that they do encourage down votes for as a way to flag spam.
The fact that we can see the username that down votes is a great deterrent, too.
I like the way they handle this stuff here though overall. I've never been a big down voter, like what's the point, it's just worthless internet points, if I don't like someone's stuff, I just don't up vote ... but some folks get all pissed off about such things.

I'm looking at the sidebar, and I see +7|-1, but I don't see any way to be able to tell who voted down.
Once your a Level 6 - the number in the big circle in your profile, there's a thing that say's something like [Vote Details] if you open the comments section of a post. LVL 6 doesn't take long though ... and vote details only shows the username of the down votes, not up votes. It's a neat feature.
