I would think that would work.  I think I get where Joost is coming from. 

Another thought, what about using Tor to make it so it can't track IPs
as well?  Joost, you have a thought on that? 

Also, I've read where some people have had to prove who they are. 
Facebook requests the info and if it is not provided, they suspend the
account until it is provided.  It's never happened to me but I've talked
to people who it did happen too.  How does one get around it if that
happens?
