Sounds unnecessary complicated for no real benefit with issues along the road.

And it does feel weird to use Facebook in this example.

If you don't care for an email address, and you are using the login only for maintaining that list, use an permalink. Thats probably easier and better.

One permalink for edit, one permalink for viewing.

Facebook is only mentioned in the context of how I did things previously, before I implemented the email/password registration.

What was your main motivation to put so much effort in making sure that you are not storing his/her email address?
