>Why should anyone consider it reasonable to insist that someone else needs to create an API that selectively differentiates between users based on arbitrary and easily spoofed technical criteria? This makes no sense. It is expensive technically and expensive in terms of the development time and effort needed to maintain it. Not to mention easily fooled.

What?

The distinction between apps and users is already very clear at every level in Facebook. I don't understand what technical issues you're talking about.

This could be an issue for people who blindly accept spam friend requests, but not for apps. Just because users get an export function doesn't automatically mean apps do as well, unless Facebook specifically implements it.
