You can actually already do this by replying to the notification email!
You make a good point. I personally don't use FB too much, and don't see myself migrating, but I can see a lot of my friends who use FB possibly making the move.
For me, I use several of Google's products daily, and always have my Gmail open. That's why I like Buzz, because it seems like it fits me well.
What do you see happening to twitter then, if people move to FB mail, in addition to the introduction of Buzz?
Migration of my friends to FB email seems far more likely to me than migration of all my social graph to Google Buzz.
It would also be trivial for FB to allow response to notifications via external email if they decide to do it.
I think people are seriously underestimating the value of Facebook's existing graphs. They've been shaped over a couple of years now to what most people want them to be. The vast majority are not going to leave that behind for a me-too service.
