Ed,

I wrote an old post deconstructing [1] what Facebook have done. 
Basically, they've deftly located and straddled a middle line that many 
overlook. Net effect, they negate the HttpRange-14 issue (at bootstrap 
time) and the net effect is a  massive Linked Data contribution with 
entry points that work for many data consumer profiles. They are set to 
increase the fidelity of their Linked Data progressively which is the 
only option for organizations in their situation.
