Facebook contacts in Address Book for contact grouping?

I'm currently in the process of checking out Facebook IM through the latest Adium Beta. I see that it is currently possible to manually create combined contacts that include Facebook contacts, but I was wondering if it is also possible to have Adium automatically accomplish this as it does with other contacts listed in the Address Book.

A quick web search suggests that Facebook Chat may use the Jabber protocol, but it is unclear what "username@service" address is used to identify Facebook users.

Is anyone aware of what can be used to uniquely identify Facebook contacts in Address Book so that they can be automatically grouped in Adium?

Facebook does not use XMPP (Jabber), nor is there a way to automatically combine contacts in the Address Book for them.

You can of course select an address book card in the Get Info window for your facebook contact.
