If I create a virtual online space, parcel off that space and create handles for each parcel, whose space is it to sell? - mine I'd say. The fact that I might have leased off that space and allowed the lessee to specify a handle does not entitle the lessee to own that handle. As you say, "Facebook is a site ... It is not the web". Same goes for Twitter ID's. ICANN has long and well deliberated policies to manage the same thing (http://www.icann.org/en/policy/). Do we believe that Facebook and Twitter are now our world? If this is (sadly) true, then we need them to research, develop and enforce a rigorous set of protocols. The vanity URL discussion may be symbolic, but it's trivial matter when compared to the vast amounts of our personal data that Facebook is currently "custodian" of and is gradually violating in order to support its revenue model.
