I was wondering...

Sorry Nick, but I'm still not seeing how this is different... the only difference I see is that the client library lets a developer use just JavaScript to interact with Facebook rather than relying on a server-side language (e.g. PHP, Python, etc.) to interact with Facebook. This would make it easier for outside sites that rely heavily on Ajax to interact with Facebook, as well as help developers who are only familiar with client-side languages. But I don't think it's that big of a change... in fact, I think people have been overlooking the outside API access which has been in place for some time.
What "broader access to Facebook's core features" does this provide? As far as I can tell, the library only makes API calls... which is exactly what outside web sites have been able to do (via server-side languages) since the API launched. Also, I'm not sure what you mean about leveraging cookies... once again, outside web sites have long been able to request a Facebook login and access data - for an example, see moochspot.com.

Where can we get more info on the cookie feature?

All it is is a method for calling the API from JavaScript without the need to have your secret key embedded in your page.

Ive been elaborating for a week now and specifically just today (before hearing a word about any of this) as to how Facebook is becoming a gaming framework.
