Correction, for many third party websites a facebook account is /an/ identity. If you closed your facebook account, what are the odds you're going to be using it as your openID login all over the place?
Probably none.

Plus you have to trust the user thinks everything through and associates "I don't want Facebook anymore for its primary purpose" with "I use Facebook for other things too."
