Facebook's minimum level of permissions is still infuriatingly broad. I hate getting "why do you need my friends list and public profile?!" feedback on our Facebook apps. If I could opt out of them, I would - often, I just want your FB ID and e-mail!

E-mail, sure. Facebook ID? No. Most people don't have that 10-20 digit number memorized, and Facebook doesn't really show it anywhere other than the APIs these days either.
