However, the Graph API knows the answer to this question. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/ We'd probably need to confirm with Facebook that they wouldn't change this API on us, but since they have lots of users dependent on it, that doesn't seem like a lot to ask. As Dirkjan says, we would probably want to ask the user before we did this, but a doorhanger that was like "You seem to be [email protected]. Shall we sync with this ID..."? -Ekr
