LDP and WebID definition

In the MUST camp we have the following argument

[[
Non #URI are problematic for LDP. What would it mean to:
	1 to PATCH such a resource?
	2. to DELETE it?
	3. how would one create such a resource in an LDP Collection?

   [kidehen: LDP references are irrelevant unless this is WebID-for-LDP or LDP-WebID etc.. ]
]]

( I am very tempted to remove Kingsley's remark that LDP is irrelevant, since I don't see how he can
argue that LDP is irrelevant AND argue that the Apple-Keychain-bug is relevant in other parts of the 
wiki.  )

Still I don't see that argument is sufficient yet for a MUST, and I'd like some more input from those
that support it. Here are counterarguments that I have heard and that seem valid:

 - if you want to PATCH, DELETE, APPEND a resource that sends a 303 that redirects to a document then you can PATCH, DELETE, etc the document linked to in the 303. Would it not be up to the server then to update the other URIs too?
 
 - Facebook has 1 billion #uris as one can see by trying out:
    $ curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" http://graph.facebook.com/bblfish
  But the don't use LDP. 
  So is this an argument that those who don't have #URIs won't be able to move to LDP?
