Whilst I love the Perl Monks as much as the next person, if my email account were compromised access to this site would be the least of my worries.
As it is the email address of monks is not visible to visitors to their home nodes, so I'm not sure I understand what would be gained from adding another test to the edit user page. Sure it raises the bar slightly, but not enough to make it possible to prove your identity.
After all if the email address 'foo@bar.com' corresponding to a Monk were compromised surely they would just enter 'foo@bar.com' into the field anyway? This would only gain a user security if they used one specific email address which was non-public for this site, and nothing else.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
