arm: The rules also seem to change over time...
This is one of my main concerns, onwardly. While I acknowledge that I as the user must give permission for the application to access different kinds of information, FB also changes their privacy terminology/definitions and user agreements too often for me to feel safe about it. While I'm confident FB themselves won't sell users' data to third parties because it's not worth it to them from a risk/reward standpoint, I can't be sure about smaller websites who'd be capable of getting away with it if sneaky enough.
One last thing: I think it's important to note that I honestly wouldn't even look at what information is being requested. I would just hit the back button if FB Connect were required. If others are the same, that's a big barrier to have. But I think I've seen sites immediately jump to the permission request stage, which would eliminate that barrier. If the user is reading the request where they otherwise wouldn't, your overall stats will be much improved. (Maybe you're already doing that. If so, just ignore me and my ramblings. But I haven't seen all that often.)
