Thanks for clarifying however eating Facebook's lunch and minting URIs

http://graph.facebook.com/kidehen#this in my data space means that you
can SPARQL, build exploit and FYN using that name or my local name. It
also resolves to FB's specific Object Representation with any Name vs
Address ambiguity. That's a win right there.
What makes that a win? The fact that it less of a burden for them to see
the prowess of turning the literals in their graph into HTTP URI Names.
Even if they never did it, that pattern is great tutorial material for
anyone seeking to understand what Linked Data is about, and why Name and
Address disambiguation is vital. Just as vital as its always been
elsewhere in computing where "data access by reference" has been put to
good use etc..
