Doesn't that defeat the purpose? The whole reason Facebook is able to do what they do is that they have existing tagged photos that I may not have access to. I don't need to train Facebook to know what my friends look like. If I have to do extra work to tag my photos, I'd might as well be manually tagging them.

Except that you do have a bunch of tagged photos with your friends in them, because they're your friends.
And the idea that someone who I haven't shared my photos with can still use them to tag me in other photos is not something that I would describe as a feature.
