I'm what would be <user name="miketrethewey" site="facebook.com"> but not everyone has assigned usernames to their accounts. therefore, a system like that would not be feasible for facebook. and you can change your display name every so often, so, having it in the format of <user name="Mike A. Trethewey" site="facebook.com"> would not be effective either because tomorrow I could be simply <user name="Mike Trethewey" site="facebook.com"> without my middle initial.
