If IOUs were to be implemented in Bitcoin, then how would BTC-IOU look like?
Is it even possible to implement BTC-IOU with Bitcoin. I'm confused. Huh

Your MtGox balance is an IOU.  You don't have the BTC they do.  They are just promising to allow you to withdraw your balance on command in the future.
