Something I've thought about as being extremely useful with regards to this is for new applications or new websites that will essentially be self-contained but want to have unified logins and user data. Facebook as a platform, to me, because of it's success and it's ever-growing scope and usability makes for a near-perfect unified user-profile solution compared to other start-ups like MS' passport and openID that have had little-to-no success in the wild. This is a great opportunity for facebook to push a real, usable alternative. I share many of the same concerns as you do with regards to privacy, and admittedly I know very little about the facebook API and whether or not it requires user information to go both ways, but I think for _certain things, this could a Huge opportunity for application/site developers in Canada/the UK.
